Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and water. In a large bowl, combine molasses, brown sugar, egg, oil, salt, yeast mixture and 1-1/2 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead 6-8 minutes (dough will be sticky). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., For filling, mix sugars and spices. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Press dough into a 12x8-in. rectangle. Brush with butter to within 1/2 in. of edges; sprinkle with sugar mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices., Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan, cut side down. Cover; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1 hour. , Preheat oven to 350°. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and enough milk to reach desired consistency; spread over warm rolls.

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, sugar, yeast, salt, and ground ginger.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the eggs, butter, milk, and molasses. Mix on medium-low speed to combine. Add the flour mixture and mix on medium speed until a shaggy mass forms. Reduce the speed to medium-low and continue mixing until the dough begins to climb the hook, about 15 minutes. The dough will be very wet, but it will come together as it rests. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Lightly wet your hands and gently punch down the dough (wetting your hands will help prevent the dough from sticking when you punch it down). Cover the bowl again and transfer to the refrigerator so the dough can stiffen, at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, five-spice, and salt. Use a fork to mash together until smooth.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to ¼-inch-thick rectangle. Spread the filling across the dough, all the way to the edges. Starting from a long end, roll the dough into a log. Trim the ends, then slice the log crosswise into 8 pieces.
• Place the rolls in a 9-inch round springform pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and let proof in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Uncover the buns and bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Make the icing: In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), cream together the cream cheese, butter, and salt on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until creamy, about 1 minute.
• Spread the icing over the cinnamon rolls and sprinkle the crushed gingersnap cookies on top.
