Instructions

Make the Dough: Combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla separately, then combine with the dry ingredients. Knead for 8 minutes until smooth. Let rise for 1–1.5 hours.
Prepare Cinnamon Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside butter for spreading.
Roll and Slice: Roll dough into a rectangle, spread with butter, sprinkle cinnamon sugar, roll tightly, and slice into ¾-inch rolls.
Bake Rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls on a lined sheet for 20–25 minutes until golden. Let cool.
Make Cream Filling: Whip cream to soft peaks. In a separate bowl, blend mascarpone with sugar and vanilla. Fold together.
Assemble Cake: Layer rolls and cream filling on a plate in 3-4 alternating layers. Top with more rolls and dust or drizzle.
