Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

1. 1

   Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbles form around the edges, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat. Add the butter and stir until melted. Let it cool until the mixture is 100 to 110 degrees F (38 to 43 degrees C)—warm to the touch but not hot.

2. 2

   Pour the cooled milk mixture into a large mixing bowl. Gently sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let it sit until dissolved and foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar, 3 cups of flour, salt, and eggs; stir well to combine. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.

3. 3

   Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn it to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

4. 4

   Deflate the dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and roll it into a 10x14-inch rectangle. Lightly brush the far edge with water. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and 3/4 cup brown sugar and sprinkle over the rectangle. Then sprinkle the raisins and chopped nuts over the dough. Roll the dough into a log and seal the seam.

5. 5

   Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces; place the pieces in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan or a 12-inch deep-dish pizza pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to rise overnight.

6. 6

   The next morning, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and let them stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden. Meanwhile, combine the corn syrup with vanilla in a small bowl. Whisk in the powdered sugar and enough cream to make a thick glaze; set aside. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving warm.
