Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:

Directions:
Proof the Yeast
In a mixing bowl, whisk yeast, warm water, and 1 tsp of bread mix. Let mixture stand 5 minutes.
Make the Dough
Add in remaining bread mix, egg and ¼ cup melted butter and beat with dough hook on low speed until combined (about 3 minutes). Continue kneading on medium speed for 6 minutes.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl covered with plastic wrap for about 45 minutes. Let rise until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350°F degrees and grease a 9×9 pan.
Make and Add Filling
Mix the filling ingredients (brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional nutmeg) in a small bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form the dough into a 15×8 inch rectangle.
Spread softened butter onto dough rectangle then spread cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over butter.
Starting at short end (8 inch), tightly roll to form a thick log. Cut into 9 equal sections and place evenly into prepared pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Remove plastic wrap and bake until edges of the rolls appear slightly golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
Make and Add Topping
While rolls are baking prepare topping (classic glaze or cream cheese frosting), by whisking all topping ingredients together.
Once rolls are cooled for at least 10 minutes drizzle with prepared topping.
