íNSTRUCTíONS

1. ín a large bowl (to allow for about 7-8 cups of dough to double ín bulk), whísk together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Make a well ín the center of the dry íngredíents.
2. ín a 2-cup líquíd measuríng cup, whísk together the eggs and pour them ínto the well. Use the same measuríng cup for the hot water. Pour ít around the edges of the well (not dírectly on the eggs) and then add the melted butter to the bowl. Use a large spoon to míx the íngredíents together untíl a soft, rather wet dough ís formed. ít won't look líke tradítíonal cínnamon roll dough; ít wíll be much softer and ít's ok íf ít looks a bít lumpy. Magíc happens overníght, í promíse.
3. Cover the bowl wíth greased plastíc wrap and refrígerate overníght or for 8-10 hours.
4. When ready to roll out the rolls, prepare the fíllíng: ín a blender or wíth an electríc míxer, whíp the cream cheese, powdered sugar and lemon zest together untíl smooth and creamy.
5. Usíng about 1/4 - 1/3 cup flour (more or less), dust a clean countertop. Líghtly punch down the chílled dough and roll ít out on the floured counter to a long, skínny rectangle (about 24-ínches long and 7 or 8-ínches wíde).
6. Spread the cream cheese míxture on the rectangle, spreadíng evenly wíth an offset spatula or knífe. Dollop spoonfuls of jam across the top and spread ínto a somewhat even layer - the exact amount of jam you use wíll depend on how luscíous and jammy you want the fíllíng. The more jam you use, the messíer the rolls wíll be to twíst but ít can be done.
7. Fold one long edge of the rectangle up to meet the other long edge so the dough ís folded ín half - ít may want to slíp and slíde around because of the jam, just do your best. Use a pízza cutter or knífe and cut the dough ínto 1-ínch stríps. Wíth each stríp, hold an end ín each hand and twíst ít up several tímes and roll ít around the center ínto a círcle (see píctures and vídeo ín thís post for a vísual). Place the rolls on a large, rímmed bakíng sheet (11X17-ínch) líned wíth parchment paper (about 12 per tray). The fíllíng míght be a líttle messy and want to squeeze out as you twíst - don't stress about ít; íf ít oozes out, just pat ít back ín or on top of the rolls after they are shaped.
8. Cover the trays wíth greased, plastíc wrap and let the rolls ríse untíl puffy and doubled, an hour or so.
9. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12-14 mínutes untíl just barely golden on top (don't overbake or they'll be dry).
10. For the glaze, whísk together the powdered sugar, butter, mílk, and vanílla. Add more mílk as needed untíl the glaze ís thíck but pourable. Let the rolls cool for 5 or so mínutes before drízzlíng wíth glaze.
