Milk — warm

Butter — soft, + 80 g for the filling

Knead an enriched dough (flour through yeast) until smooth and springy, 8 minutes; rise 1 hour until doubled.

Roll to a 30×40 rectangle; spread soft butter, then the cinnamon-brown-sugar. Roll from the long side into a tight log and slice into 9 with unflavored dental floss (cleaner than any knife).

Arrange in a buttered pan; refrigerate overnight. Morning: 45 minutes at room temperature, then bake at 180°C until golden and 90°C in the center roll, 22–25 minutes.

Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar; frost while warm so it melts into the spirals. Serve to applause.

Storage

Best fresh; components keep 2 days refrigerated.

Freezing

Most breakfast bakes freeze well for 2 months; assembled plates don't.

Reheating

A low oven (150°C, 8–10 minutes) revives baked things; a nonstick pan over medium-low beats the microwave for anything with a crisp edge.

Make ahead

Prep components the night before — batters rest happily overnight in the fridge, and toppings can be portioned into jars.

Wine pairing

Coffee or fresh juice — it's breakfast.

Beer pairing

It's breakfast — coffee. But a mimosa never hurt a weekend.

Fresh fruit

Crispy bacon or breakfast sausage

Greek yogurt with honey
