Ingredients

• 3/4 cup Lukewarm water
• 2 1/2 tsp Active dry yeast
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 1/3 cup Sugar
• 1 Egg (whisked)
• 1 Egg yolk (whisked)
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1/3 cup Unsalted butter (room temperature )
• 1 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tbsp Cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp Ground Cloves
• 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
• 4 oz Cream cheese (room temp)
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter (room temp)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup Powdered sugar (sifted)
• Coffee creamer, according to taste
• 1 tablespoon Heavy Cream (per roll, for topping before baking)

Method

1. Stir the lukewarm water, active dry yeast and the tablespoon of sugar together in a measuring cup or small bowl and rest the mixture for 10 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining sugar, the whisked egg and egg yolk, flour, kosher salt and melted unsalted butter, then add the yeast mixture last.
3. Mix with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms, adding flour a tablespoon at a time if the dough is too sticky.
4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth, or use a stand mixer.
5. Set the dough in a lightly floured bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until doubled; a warmed, turned-off oven gives it a draft-free spot.
6. While the dough rises, mix the room temperature filling butter with the packed light brown sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg into a spreadable filling.
7. For the frosting, mix the room temperature cream cheese, room temperature butter, vanilla extract, sifted powdered sugar and coffee creamer, adding the creamer gradually, until the frosting reaches the consistency you want.
8. Punch the risen dough down gently, set it on a floured surface, roll it out, and spread the filling over it; roll the dough up as tightly as you can without stretching or tearing it.
9. Cut the log with floss into 2-inch sections for 6 large rolls, or 1 to 1 1/2 inch sections for about 8 to 12 rolls, and arrange them in a prepared baking dish.
10. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and rest them for another 30 minutes.
11. Heat the oven to 350°F and spoon a tablespoon of heavy cream over the top of each roll.
12. Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, cool them for a few minutes, and spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls before serving.
