Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add milk and heat until just warm to the touch (120 to 130 degrees). Pour into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 100 grams or 1/2 cup brown sugar, yeast, 4 grams or 1 teaspoon salt and cardamom. Slowly beat flour mixture into butter mixture using an electric mixer set with the paddle attachment. Beat in egg, then beat until dough comes together in a ball, about 3 minutes; it should be slightly tacky but not sticky. If it feels very sticky, beat in more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes. Form into ball. Transfer to a large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 to 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Cook until the foam subsides and the butter turns a deep nut brown; cool to room temperature.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 150 grams or 3/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
• Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle about 15 inches long and 11 or 12 inches wide. Using a pastry brush, coat dough with butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over butter. Starting at a long end, tightly roll up dough over filling. Arrange seam side down. Cut the dough crosswise into 18 slices (about 1/2-inch thick).
• Lightly grease two 9-inch square baking pans. Transfer rolls to pan, cut side up; they will fit snugly. Cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees; bake rolls until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes.
• While rolls bake, place remaining 150 grams or 3/4 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan. Sprinkle with bourbon and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted, whisk in vanilla, then turn off the heat and whisk in the confectioners' sugar. Pour warm glaze evenly over the tops of the warm rolls. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow glaze to set.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs, milk powder, 2 TBL margarine, 2 TBL sugar, salt, and 2 ¼ c flour; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until well blended. Stir in enough of the remaining 2 cups plus 2 TBL of flour to make a soft dough. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
• 2) Punch dough down; sprinkle 1 TBL flour evenly over work surface. Turn dough out onto floured surface and roll to an 18-inch square. Brush dough with remaining melted margarine. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough.
• 3) Roll up dough, jellyroll fashion, starting with long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut roll into 24 slices. Place slices, cut side down in two 9-inch square pans coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.

• Add the salt, warm milk mixture, and 2 cups of the flour and mix at medium speed until thoroughly blended.
• Switch to the dough hook, add another 2 cups of the flour, and knead at medium speed (adding up to 1/4 cup more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary), I did use the additional 1/4 cup of flour, until the dough is smooth and freely clears the sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes.
• Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface.
• Shape the dough into a round, place it in a very lightly oiled bowl, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
• Leave in a warm draft free spot until doubled in bulk, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• While dough is raising prepare the icing:.
• Combine all of the icing ingredients in the bowl of a standing mixer and blend together at low speed until thoroughly combined.
• Increase the speed to high and mix until the icing is smooth and free of cream cheese lumps.
• Transfer the icing to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• To roll and fill the dough:.
• After the dough has doubled, press it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface.
• Using a rolling pin, shape the dough into a 16 by 12 inch rectangle, with long side facing you.
• Mix together the filling ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border at the far edge.
• Roll the dough, beginning with the long edge closest to you and using both hands to pinch the dough with your fingertips as you roll.
• Keep it tightly rolled.
• Moisten the top border with water and seal the roll.
• Lightly dust the roll with flour and press on the ends if necessary to make a uniform 16 inch cylinder.
