Step-by-Step Instructions
- Warm the Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture reaches 120°F to 130°F.
- Make the Dough: In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually pour in the warm milk mixture and add mashed banana. Mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until slightly sticky yet elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, and sprinkle with light brown sugar, cinnamon, and sliced banana.
- Cut Rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal rolls.
- Second Rise: Transfer the cut rolls to a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for an additional 45 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Pour heavy cream over the risen rolls.
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool before frosting.

Notes
Ensure milk is warm, not hot, for yeast activation. Dental floss is great for cutting rolls without squashing them. Rolls can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
