Ingredients
12 servings
- •2 cups lukewarm water
- •1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- •½ cup white sugar
- •¼ cup shortening
- •1 ½ teaspoons salt
- •1 large egg
- •6 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- •½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- •½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- •½ cup white sugar
- •4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- •1 pinch ground cloves
- •½ cup cream cheese frosting, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare dough: Combine water and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until yeast has dissolved.
- Mix sugar, shortening, salt, and yeast mixture together in a large bowl. Stir in egg. Mix in 1/2 of the flour, then remaining flour until a dough forms. Transfer dough to a well-greased bowl and cover. Place in the refrigerator to rise, 8 hours to overnight.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator. Roll out on a lightly floured board. Spread softened butter over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch strip along the long edge of the rectangle furthest away from you completely dry.
- Mix brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and cloves together in a bowl. Sprinkle all over the dough except the 1-inch border. Roll dough up toward the border, then cut into 1-inch thick rolls. Place in a greased pan and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Spread cream cheese frosting on top of hot rolls.
