   Paso 2. Fill the dough

   Roll the dough into a 12 × 16-inch rectangle. Mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon and softened butter into a paste and spread it over the dough, leaving the far short edge bare.

   Alternatively, brush the dough with melted, cooled butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.

   Paso 3. Shape the rolls

   Starting at the short 12-inch edge, roll the dough away from you into a 12-inch log. Cut into six 2-inch pieces, gently cup each roll to round it, tuck the loose end underneath, and place spiral-side up in 2 rows of 3 in the buttered pan.

   Paso 4. Let rolls rise

   1 h 30 min

   Cover and let rise for 60–120 minutes, until pillowy. A gentle press on the dough should spring back slowly and leave a slight dent.

   Paso 5. Bake the rolls

   30 min

   Pour the lukewarm cream around the rolls. Bake on the middle rack at 350°F (175°C) for about 25–35 minutes.

   For a dark metal pan, use 325°F (165°C) and allow extra time. If the tops turn light golden before the centre dough is set, cover loosely with foil.
