Overnight Cinnamon Rolls: Easy Breakfast Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups lukewarm water
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup shortening
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg
• 6 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 0.5 cup cream cheese frosting, or to taste

Instructions

1. Activate the yeast: Combine water and yeast; let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast has dissolved completely.
2. In a large bowl, mix sugar, shortening, salt, and the yeast mixture. Stir in the egg. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to rise.
3. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch strip along the far edge dry.
4. In a bowl, combine brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough, avoiding the 1-inch border. Roll the dough tightly toward the border, then cut into 1-inch thick rolls. Place the rolls in a greased baking pan and let them rise in a warm area for approximately 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
6. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. While still warm, spread cream cheese frosting generously over the top of the rolls.
