Prep time: 45 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serving size: 12 servings
Ingredients
Dough
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 (.25 ounce) package of quick-rising yeast (such as Fleischmann’s RapidRise®)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
- ½ cup eggnog
- ½ cup sour cream
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- cooking spray
Filling
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste
Glaze
- 4 ounces of cream cheese, at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons eggnog
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Dough
- Combine sugar, yeast, salt, and 4 cups of flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until just combined, about 15 seconds.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add eggnog, sour cream, butter, and egg. Continue beating until dough forms, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Switch to a dough hook attachment. Beat on medium-low speed until dough is smooth and elastic, 6 to 9 minutes; gradually add remaining 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon at a time, if necessary.
- Place dough in a large bowl greased with cooking spray and turn to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm draft-free place until dough has doubled in size, 2 to 3 hours.
- Spray a 13- x 9-inch pan with cooking spray. Lightly punch down the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into an 18- x 10-inch rectangle.
Filling
- For the filling spread 1/2 cup of butter over the dough. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle evenly over butter.
- Starting with one long side, roll dough into a log; pinch seam to seal. Slice into 12 rolls.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place rolls in the prepared pan. Cover, and let rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in size, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Glaze
- Add cream cheese and 4 tablespoons butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar, eggnog, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Serve with freshly grated nutmeg sprinkled on top and any extra glaze, if desired.
