- 3 -½ c. all-purpose flour, divided

How to Make It
- Stir together brown sugar and cream in an ungreased 13"x9" baking pan; set aside. In a large bowl, blend 1-1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan over medium heat, heat water and 2 tablespoons butter until very warm, about 110 to 115 degrees. Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened; beat at medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in remaining flour. Knead dough for 2 to 3 minutes on a floured surface.
- Roll out on a floured surface to a 15-inch by 7-inch rectangle. Combine remaining sugar, remaining butter and cinnamon; spread over dough. Starting on one long edge, roll up tightly. Seal edges; slice into 15 rolls. Place rolls, cut-side down, in prepared pan. Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place until double in size, 35 to 45 minutes. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden.
