To make the tangzhong rue, cook 2 tbsp flour and 1/3 c milk in a small pot. Cook for 3-5 minutes until it starts to thicken. Allow to cool

While that is cooking, combine 1 tbsp sugar with 1/4 water that's been warmed to 110 degrees. Once combined, add a package of active yeast and allow the yeast to proof for 10 minutes.

While the yeast is proofing, add 1 3/4 c "Cup 4 Cup Multipurpose flour", 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp sugar to a large bowl. (I use a stand mixer.) Stir.

Add in 5 tbsp room temperature butter and 1 egg. Mix.

Finally add the cooled rue and the proofed yeast to the dough. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Transfer dough to an oiled bowl to rise for 60 minutes. I like to put my dough in a slightly warmed (but turned off) oven. Adding a bowl of warm water on the bottom oven rack also helps in the rising process.

After the dough has risen for an hour, allow to cool in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the butter to firm up, and make the dough easier to roll.

While the dough is chilling, combine 1/4 c. cane sugar, 1/4 brown sugar, and 2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. This is for the filling.

Once the dough is chilled, remove from refrigerator. Generously flour a large piece of parchment paper. Transfer chilled dough to paper and kneed until a soft ball forms.

Flour parchment again before rolling. Roll dough into a rectangle approx. 15 x 9 inches. You can use saran wrap on top of the dough to prevent it sticking to the rolling pin, if you prefer.

Spread dough with 4 tbsp softened butter. (I usually warm mine for 5 seconds in the microwave, until it has the consistency of frosting.)

Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture on top of the butter.

Using the bottom edge of the parchment paper, tightly roll the dough into a log.

After rolling the dough, place the dough log back in the fridge to firm up before cutting into individual rolls.

After having chilled, use unflavored dental floss to cut the log into 8 equal rolls.

Place cinnamon rolls in a greased dish, and allow to rise for 60 minutes.

After rolls have risen, brush with 2-3 tbsp heavy cream. This will keep the top of the rolls moist as they bake.

Warm the oven to 350 degrees.

Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25 minutes.

While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. Combine the butter, cream cheese, vanilla and sifted powdered sugar in a bowl with tall sides, and beat with mixer until all powdered sugar is combined. (A bowl with tall sides prevents the powdered sugar from getting everywhere.)

When rolls are done baking, allow to rest 5-10 minutes before applying frosting. I prefer to apply the frosting to individual rolls, in case you want to warm up leftovers in the microwave/oven

*To reheat the entire pan of rolls, preheat oven to 275 degrees. Place a bowl of warm water in the oven, for added moisture. Heat the rolls for 15 - 20 minutes, until rolls are soft. I also brush the tops of the rolls with add'l cream before reheating.
