Preparation Steps

  3. Combine the eggs and the yeast mixture, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Alternatively, use a stand mixer.
  5. Grease a large bowl, place the dough inside, cover and let rise for about 1 hour or refrigerate overnight.
  6. Mix together softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling.
  7. For the topping, beat melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add maple syrup, cream, vanilla, salt, and cornstarch.
  8. Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread filling, roll up, and cut into six pieces.
  9. Place pieces in a greased pan and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 375°F and bake for about 28-30 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Let cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving board and serve warm.
