How to cook deliciously - Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

1. Stage

Prepare dough: Combine water and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until yeast has dissolved.

2. Stage

Mix sugar, shortening, salt, and yeast mixture together in a large bowl. Stir in egg. Mix in 1/2 of the flour, then remaining flour until a dough forms. Transfer dough to a well-greased bowl and cover. Place in the refrigerator to rise, 8 hours to overnight.

3. Stage

Remove dough from the refrigerator. Roll out on a lightly floured board. Spread softened butter over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch strip along the long edge of the rectangle furthest away from you completely dry.

4. Stage

Mix brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and cloves together in a bowl. Sprinkle all over the dough except the 1-inch border. Roll dough up toward the border, then cut into 1-inch thick rolls. Place in a greased pan and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

5. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

6. Stage

Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Spread cream cheese frosting on top of hot rolls.
