Making The Dough:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The wet stuff:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I used leftover whey (4 oz) from the ricotta I made earlier today and heavy cream (2 oz) instead of buttermilk, 4 yolks, 1 whole egg and 6 Tbsp of melted butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added the dry goods:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
About half the flour, the salt and the yeast. Whipped into a batter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling out the dough:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To roughly 18″ x 24″, adding and spreading some melted butter and then the filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Put the rolls into the oven for 30 minutes to proof. Place them on the top rack and place a pan filled with boiling water on the rack below. This makes a bit of a sauna for the yeast to wake up and enjoy. We should treat them nicely like this since were about to murder them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Icing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A simple matter of whisking together 2.5 oz of softened cream-cheese, 5.5 oz of sifted powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of milk until it looks like icing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
