Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• Rolls
• ·2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
• ·1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
• ·1/2 cup sugar
• ·1/2 cup softened butter
• ·1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• ·2 large eggs, room temperature
• ·5 1/4 to 5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• CINNAMON FILLING
• ·1 cup packed brown sugar
• ·1/4 cup ground cinnamon
• ·1/2 cup softened butter, divided
• GLAZE
• ·2 cups confectioners' sugar
• ·1/4 cup half-and-half cream
• ·2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

1. Step 1

   In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter, salt, eggs, yeast mixture, and 3 cups of the flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough — it will be sticky. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

2. Step 2

   For the filling: in a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it in half. Roll each half into an 18x12-inch rectangle. Spread each rectangle with 1/4 cup of the softened butter, then sprinkle each with half of the brown sugar mixture.
