Caramelized Banana Cinnamon Swirls

1. Caramelize Bananas:
   • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced bananas and brown sugar. Cook until the bananas are caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg.
2. Cool the Filling:
   • Remove the caramelized banana mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.

Assembling the Swirls:

1. Roll Out the Dough:
   • After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Add Filling:
   • Spread the caramelized banana mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
3. Roll the Dough:
   • Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the long edge.
4. Cut into Swirls:
   • Slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
5. Second Rise:
   • Place the swirls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Cover and let them rise for about 30 minutes.

Baking:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Bake:
   • Bake the swirls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Preparing the Glaze:

1. Mix Glaze Ingredients:
   • In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Finishing Touches:

1. Glaze the Swirls:
   • While the swirls are still warm, drizzle or brush them with the glaze.
