Ingredients
Dough1 tbsp instant yeast8 packets Pure Via Stevia-Turbinado blend2 ¾ cups flour1 cup whole wheat flour¾ tsp salt¾ cup warmed whole milk2 tbsp brown sugar½ tbsp vanilla extract2 eggs¼ cup salted butter, room temperature¼ cup cream cheese, room temperature---Lamination½ cup cream cheese, room temperature---Filling¼ cup sugar¼ cup brown sugar, packed1/3 cup nut-free granola½ cup raisins1 tbsp cinnamon½ tsp saltpinch ground cloves2 tbsp honey---Glaze¼ cup honey2 tbsp salted butter, melted
Directions
In a bowl, whisk together yeast, sugar, flours and salt.
Add milk, brown sugar, vanilla and eggs, beat well for approximately 8-9 minutes.
Add butter and cream cheese, continue to knead for 6 minutes. The dough will be wet and sticky.
Turn out onto a floured work surface, knead remaining flour into the dough.
Cover and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
When the dough has rested, turn onto a heavily floured work surface.
Knead the dough until it is no longer sticky, adding more flour as needed, for 2 minutes.
Place a kitchen towel over the dough and let rest for 5 minutes.
---
Roll the dough into a large square.
Mix the cream cheese until it’s smooth and spreadable, then spread evenly over the dough square.
Letter-fold into thirds.
Take the open ends of the rectangle and fold into thirds again, to make a smaller dough square.
Let rest 10 minutes, or wrap well in plastic and refrigerate overnight.

Combine the filling ingredients. Set aside.
With the seam of the folded dough facing down, gently roll into a large rectangle. Be as gentle as possible, but work it until you reach the size you need.
Sprinkle the filling over the dough and spread evenly over the surface, leaving a 1” space at one of the short edges of the dough. Lightly press the filling into the dough.
Roll dough from the (filled) short side into a tight cylinder.
With a sharp, serrated knife, cut roll into 8 slices.
Place slices, cut side up, in a buttered 9” x 13” baking dish. Cover and let rise for 2 hours, or refrigerate rolls overnight.
Heat the oven to 375F.
Brush the rolls with milk and bake, uncovered, 25 minutes (until golden and cooked through).
---
For glaze: Whisk together honey and butter, then brush over warm rolls and allow to soak in.
