Instructions
To make the dough:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over lukewarm milk. Stir to combine and allow to sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup (70 grams) sugar, and salt.
- Mix the yeast with milk, butter, eggs, and molasses into the flour mixture until the dough comes together. It should be a little loose and slightly sticky.
- Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
- Transfer to a large bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and allow to rest until doubled, about 1 hour.
To assemble:
- Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 centimeter) baking dish with butter.
- Lightly flour a large work surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 11 x 17 inches (28 x 43 centimeters).
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
- Spread the softened butter over the rectangle and evenly cover with the spiced sugar.
- Roll up the rectangle tightly from long side to long side and pinch the seam to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the rolls cut side up in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
To bake:
- Remove the pan of cinnamon rolls from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes.
- While the cinnamon rolls are in the oven, make the cream cheese glaze. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add just enough milk to create a smooth, thick glaze.
- Spread the glaze over the cinnamon rolls while they are still warm and serve immediately.
