📝 Preparation Steps
1
1. To make the dough. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 3 1/2 cups flour, the yeast, ginger, and salt. Add the warm milk, honey, eggs, and butter. Using the dough hook, mix until the flour is completely incorporated, about ⏱️ 4-5 minutes. If the dough seems sticky, add the remaining 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of flour. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for ⏱️ 15 minutes or up to a few hours at room temperature.2. Meanwhile, make the filling. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate small bowl, mix together the butter and molasses. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment. 3. Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Turn out the dough, punch it down, and roll it into a rectangle about 10 x 16 inches. Spread the molasses butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the ginger sugar evenly over the butter and lightly push into the butter. Starting with the long edge closest to you, carefully roll the dough into a log, keeping it fairly tight as you go. When you reach the edge, pinch along the edge to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12-15 rolls smaller rolls or 8 large rolls. Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise ⏱️ 20-30 minutes.4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the rolls for 25 to ⏱️ 30 minutes, or until golden brown. For larger rolls, bake an additional ⏱️ 10 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, make the frosting. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook for about ⏱️ 5 minutes, until the butter is lightly browned and smells toasted. Immediately remove from the heat. Let cool.6. In a medium bowl, beat together the cooled browned butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth. If the frosting is too thick for your liking, add a tablespoon of milk.7. Spread the frosting over the warm rolls. Serve warm and enjoy.
