## Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine active dry yeast, sugar, and lukewarm milk. Whisk until combined, cover and let sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes nice and foamy.

4. Use a dough hook to knead the dough until it comes together, then knead it by hand.
5. Place the dough in a bowl, cover it, and let it rest for about an hour or two until it doubles in size.
6. Meanwhile, make the filling by combining brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl.
7. Make the icing by combining cream cheese and softened brown butter in a bowl.
8. Once the dough has doubled, roll it out on a floured surface.
9. Spread the softened brown butter over the rolled-out dough.
10. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
11. Tightly roll the dough into a log and cut into slices to form the cinnamon rolls.
12. Place the cinnamon rolls in a buttered baking dish, cover and let rest for 30 minutes for a second proof.
13. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes.
