Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare an 8×8 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix light brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg for the filling; set aside.
Warm milk to 105°F – 115°F and activate the yeast with a teaspoon of sugar for about 10 minutes until foamy.
Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, then mix wet ingredients in a stand mixer until smooth before combining with dry ingredients.
Knead the dough until sticky yet holds its shape and roll out into a rectangle.
Spread the filling evenly over the dough, roll tightly into a log, and cut into pieces.
Place rolls in the prepared pan, let rise for 1.5 hours, then bake for 40–45 minutes.
Prepare cream cheese glaze while rolls bake and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
