DOUGH
- Step 1Lightly grease a large bowl with cooking spray. In another large bowl or in the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, stir milk and yeast until yeast is mostly dissolved.
- Step 2Add eggs, flour, granulated sugar, butter, salt, and baking soda and beat on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until dough is smooth and elastic and starts to pull away from sides of bowl, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Step 3Transfer dough to prepared bowl and turn so outside of dough is thoroughly greased. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until almost doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.

ASSEMBLY
- Step 1In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, or in the large bowl of stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, cream brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Lightly grease a 13″x 9″ baking pan with butter.
- Step 2On a lightly floured surface, dust dough with more flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out into a large square (about 18″x 18″). Spread to edges with filling, then roll dough into a log. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 pieces, each about 1 1/2″ wide.
- Step 3Arrange rolls cut side up in prepared pan. Cover and let rise until almost doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Step 4Preheat oven to 400°. Uncover rolls and bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes.
- Step 5Meanwhile, in large bowl using handheld mixer or in the large bowl of stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and remaining 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt until light and fluffy. Gradually add milk and continue to beat to loosen icing.
- Step 6Immediately frost rolls. Serve warm.
