Ingredients

Dough:

  • 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

Cinnamon Filling:

  • 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

Directions

  1. Prepare dough: Combine water and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until yeast has dissolved.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  6. Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Spread cream cheese frosting on top of hot rolls.
