Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- To the yeast mixture, add the melted butter, eggs, salt, cardamom, ginger, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until well blended.
- Gradually mix in the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until the dough forms a soft ball.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a bowl.
Baking
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the filling evenly on top.
- Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cardamom in a bowl until smooth.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the frosting over them while they are still warm. Serve them warm and enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh spices for best flavor. You can make these rolls ahead by preparing them up to the second rise, covering tightly, and refrigerating overnight. For storage, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze baked rolls for up to 2 months.
