Ingredients

2/3 cup heavy cream ((at room temperature))
1 cup milk ((1%, 2%, or whole, at room temperature))
1 large egg ((at room temperature))
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup cake flour ((tap measuring cup to avoid air pockets))
3 1/2 cups bread flour ((tap measuring cup to avoid air pockets))
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup dark brown sugar ((or light brown sugar, lightly packed))
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter ((softened at room temperature))
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 ounces cream cheese ((at room temperature))
3 tablespoons salted butter ((at room temperature))
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar ((AKA icing sugar))
3 1/2 tablespoons whole milk ((optional))

Steps:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, add these ingredients in the following order: room temperature heavy cream, milk, and egg, followed by the sugar, cake flour, bread flour, active dry yeast, and salt. There is no need to activate the yeast beforehand.
Turn on the mixer to the lowest setting, and let it go for 15 minutes, occasionally stopping the mixer to push the dough together. If you're in a humid climate and the dough is too sticky, feel free to add a little more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it comes together. It should be sticking to the bottom of the bowl, but not the sides. If you don't have a mixer and would like to knead by hand, extend the kneading time by 5-10 minutes.
Cover the bowl with a damp towel and place in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. (We proof our dough in a closed microwave with a mug of just boiled water next to it.)
In the meantime, grease two baking vessels on all sides with butter. We fit 12 rolls in a large oval casserole dish, and 4 into a smaller overflow casserole dish. You can also use two 9-inch cake pans. Keep in mind that these expand quite a bit. You want to ensure they have enough room to expand, but not so much room that they won't end up hugging each other in the pan once baked.
Next, mix the cinnamon sugar filling. In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and salt until it's a brown paste. If you need to, microwave the butter for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to stir.
After the dough has doubled in size, put it back in the mixer, and stir for another 5 minutes to get rid of any air bubbles.
Roll the dough out into a 12x24 inch (30x60cm) rectangle, at about ¼-inch thickness. Using a butter knife, spread the brown sugar filling evenly over the dough leaving about a ½-inch of border on the sides. Roll it tightly into a big cigar, and cut it into 16 equal pieces. (It helps to score it first in half, then in fourths, and so on).
Arrange the buns in the buttered baking pans (when it comes to the end pieces, place them cut side up) with about ¾-inch between each bun. Proof for another 30-40 minutes.
15 minutes into the last round of proofing, arrange a rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat to 350°F/175°C. After proofing the buns, bake for 20-25 minutes. Ours baked in 25 minutes. If you know your oven runs hot, proceed accordingly. The center buns will look a little pale relative to the ones on the edges, but don't be tempted to bake them longer!
While the buns are baking, make the cream cheese icing. Whip the cream cheese and butter until fluffy and pale yellow. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. For super thick icing, omit the milk. For a thinner, pourable consistency, add the milk.
When the buns are done baking, remove from the oven. Drizzle icing evenly over the buns as desired. Serve warm!

Tips:

For the fluffiest cinnamon rolls, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which will give the rolls a chewier texture.
Make sure the butter is very cold before adding it to the dough. This will help to create flaky layers in the rolls.
Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the rolls tough.
Let the rolls rise in a warm place until they are doubled in size. This will ensure that they are light and airy.
Bake the rolls at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

These Fire House Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With their fluffy texture, sweet cinnamon filling, and decadent cream cheese frosting, these cinnamon rolls are sure to be a favorite.
