    Method

  • 1. Add granulated sugar, egg, quick-rise yeast and all purpose flour to a clean stand mixer bowl
  • 2. Add milk and salted butter to a clean glass measuring cup
  • 3. Microwave the milk and butter together in a glass measuring cup until the butter is melted and the mixture is between 120º and 130º
  • 4. Add into the mixing bowl and beat on low speed for three minutes
  • 5. Add the remaining flour, and beat until incorporated
  • 6. Turn onto a floured work surface and knead for eight minutes
  • 7. Form into a ball
  • 8. Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray and add the dough, turning to coat
  • 9. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about two hours
  • 10. Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves together in a small bowl
  • 11. Punch the dough down and roll it out to a 15×11 inch rectangle on a floured work surface
  • 12. Spread it with the butter, leaving a half inch border
  • 13. Sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture, and drizzle with honey
  • 14. Starting at one of the 15 inch long sides, roll up tightly into a log
  • 15. With a sharp knife, cut crosswise into eighteen slices
  • 16. Spray two 9×9 pans with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper
  • 17. Divide rolls between the pans, arranging them cut-side up in rows of three.
  • 18. Cover with plastic wrap and kitchen towels and let rise in a warm area for 45 minutes
  • 19. For the frosting, combine butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth
  • 20. Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC)
  • 21. Bake rolls until tops are golden brown, about 15-20 minutes
  • 22. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes
  • 23. Spread with frosting
  • 24. Eat immediately – after a few hours, these get dry-ish and the frosting hardens
