What Adding Heavy Cream Does to Cinnamon Rolls #baking #cinnamonrolls

Brownie Buns (yield: 1 13in x 9in pan or 2 8in round cake pans)
1 c (227) milk
2 1/4 tsp (7g) instant yeast
2 eggs
1/4 c (50g) sugar
4 c (560g) AP flour
1.5 tsp (9g) fine salt
4 oz (113g) butter, softened

3/4 c (150g) brown sugar
4 oz (113g) butter, softened
2 Tbsp (18g) Everything Brownie
1/2 c (88g) mini chocolate chips

Optional: 2/3 c (151g) heavy cream

1. Stir together the milk and yeast and let sit for a minute to allow the yeast to dissolve.
2. Add the remaining dough ingredients to the bowl and mix or knead until a smooth dough forms (roughly 10 minutes with a mixer or 15 minutes by hand).
3. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise for an hour to an hour and a half or until almost doubled in size.
4. When the dough has almost doubled, place in the fridge for 30 minutes before using. (this will make the dough easier to roll out and roll up).
5. For the filling, combine the brown sugar, softened butter, and Everything Brownie seasoning.
6. Once thoroughly mixed, stir in the mini chocolate chips.
7. Remove the dough from the fridge and, on a lightly floured countertop, roll into a roughly 12in x 16in rectangle.
8. Spread the filling over the dough and roll up along the long edge.
9. Lightly grease the bottom of your baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
10. If placing the dough into a 13in x 9in baking pan, cut into 12 equal pieces. If using 2 8in round cake pans, cut into 10 equal pieces and distribute evenly between the two pans.
11. Cover the rolls and let rise for 45-90min or until puffy.
12. If desired, warm heavy cream and pour over the rolls right before baking.
13. Bake at 350F (177C) for 30-35 minutes or until a light golden brown on top.

Try my new Everything Brownie seasoning:

If you mix heavy cream with some brown sugar in the pan before adding the rolls, it makes a rich caramel sauce while baking. You serve them upside down like this, similar to pineapple upside down cake. That's how my mom's always made them.

I will forever respect and love this channel because when the three options are presented, even though it’s intuitive that the first idea would be the “mistake” it’s not phrased like that at all. Three options are simply showed off. Very cool.

More proof that heavy cream makes every god damn thing better lmao

I love how this guy explains things. He makes it feel like everything is an option depending on how you enjoy things, rather than one way being wrong and one way being right.

I love baking so this channel is definitely for me also those cinnamon rolls look yummy 🤤🤤🤤

[kaylietoulousse]

yes thank you!! i always wondered why i didn’t like the heavy cream hack from tiktok but i think the crunchy bottom is just my thing 😋😋

[watermelonwellington]

I always appreciate how you don't call any version better or worse than the other - you just explain the literal results of each and leave it up to us to decide what version we want.

I love that this guy just gives you the different options to suit your preference without saying that one of them is objectively better than the other, because different people like things different ways, like how to prepare breakfast eggs

Hi Benjamin. I've been baking for about 16 years. I'd never done this with my cinnamon buns, but I tried it yesterday with my sourdough cinnamon buns and WOW, they were better than ever. Nice recommendation!

[jamaicanatheart]

I own a small bakery. People go on and on about my cinnamon rolls. My secret is that I put a little heavy cream UNDER them. It helps keep the butter inside the roll, rather than baking it out. They are literally like “crack.” Even people who don’t care for sweets or cinnamon come back for more.

Will you make longer form content? I would really like to see you make something from scratch and then give your tips and tricks along the way. You seem to be sitting on so much knowledge.

Heavy cream is the baker’s best friend. It makes every recipe better.

[ShadestheMothman]

You make both options sound so good wtf man

[brendahill]

😮 I would have thought that would mess it up, but baby....yum!!! This channel is everything.

adding cream makes the entire roll have the texture of the middle. its been game changing for me.

[davislee]

I learn so much every video and it’s so entertaining to watch even when not baking 🙂🙂

[lynne]

I want BOTH the CRUNCHY bottom AND FLAVOR, SOFTNESS & TEXTURE 😋 of the heavy cream -

[inkedmomblu]

Heavy cream is a game changer. It also goes great w some espresso shots. Just so velvety

[lyudmilarenee]

i like using tangzhong in my dough, and then doing the heavy cream like this. in tandem it's phenomenal
