Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy. Add the melted butter and eggs, then gradually mix in the flour and salt until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, then place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 16×20-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Sprinkle this spiced sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices. Place the slices in a greased baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.

While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before generously spreading the cream cheese frosting over the top. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting aroma and irresistible flavor of these spiced cinnamon rolls.

These spiced cinnamon rolls are a perfect treat for cozy mornings or festive occasions. The blend of warm spices and sweet cream cheese frosting creates a delightful balance that will have everyone coming back for more.
