STEPS

1

Combine warm milk, yeast, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl; stir together until combined. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

2

Add salt, 4 cups of the flour, and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until just combined, about 15 seconds.

3

With mixer running on low speed, add milk mixture, sour cream, butter, molasses, and egg. Beat until dough forms, 1 to 2 minutes.

4

Switch to a dough hook attachment. Beat on medium-low speed until dough is smooth and elastic, 6 to 9 minutes; add remaining 1/4 cup flour if necessary.

5

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 90 to 120 minutes.

6

Generously spray a 13x9-inch pan. Punch down dough, then roll it into an 18x10-inch rectangle on a floured surface.

7

Spread butter over dough, leaving a border on one long side. Mix brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, then sprinkle over the butter. Press down gently to adhere.

8

Roll dough into a log and slice into 12 even rolls. Place rolls into the pan and let rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes.

9

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

10

For the glaze, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk; beat until desired consistency is reached.

11

Spread glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately.
