Grab a jar or bowl or whatever you prefer and pour in warm milk, not hot, warm. One tablespoon of granulated sugar and active dry yeast. Mix and cover. Leave it in a warm place for about 10 or 15 minutes until you see foam on top.

Sift flour with a flour sifter. If you cant sift the flour it’s fine you don’t have to do it we only do it for the aesthetics here.

You want to add the rest of ingredients, soft butter, yeast mixture and granulated sugar.

Make sure to knead this dough properly, you can use a stand mixer if you have one but it’s really not necessary. Keep in mind that we always calculate the time using a Stand mixer which takes a little less time. Make sure to use the dough hook attachment and knead on medium speed for about 20 or 25 minutes or until you see the dough getting elastic.

Put the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap or damp paper, allow it to proof in a warm place for about 1h and 30 minutes, just check after 1h because depending on the temperature it may be ready after this time. You will see how the dough look like 3x time the normal size.

Roll out the dough in a floured surface with this thing that you see on the picture until it’s thin enough.

Spread soft butter, not melted and not cold. Soft. All over the thin dough. In a bowl you want to mix ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Make sure you mix it properly so you have a bit of both everywhere.

Now you can spread the cinnamon and sugar mixture all over the dough and make sure you have some of this mix everywhere.

Roll the dough up from the short end and cut with dental floss, you should end up having 6 rolls. Also make sure the dental floss is long enough so you can cut the dough easily

Place the cinnamon rolls into a greased baking pan, allow it to proof for 30 minutes in a warm place covered with plastic wrap. After this time has passed you will see how they look way bigger. Cover them with heavy whipping cream. We eyed this part tbh but just until it feels right.

Now you can Throw the cinnamon sticks and anise stars to the sides, remember to remove it after baking lol

You wanna bake it at 190 C or 374 F for about 15 or 17 minutes, keep an eye on your oven because they all work different and they may need more time or even less. We knew ours were done because of the color but yeah just check the oven.

For the frosting you just want to work the mascarpone cheese with a spoon then add sugar, mix and cover. If you want it more liquid you can add a couple tablespoons of heavy whipping cream
