For the Dough
Method
Step 1
Add the milk to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment and sprinkle the yeast on top along with a few teaspoons of the sugar. Let sit for about 10 minutes or until the mixture begins to foam and looks frothy. Meanwhile, whisk together the dry ingredients. Set aside.
Step 2
Turn the mixer on to medium speed and add the rest of the sugar, then slowly add in the butter, one tablespoon at a time. Mix until the butter is broken into small chunks, then mix in the beaten egg and molasses and process until well incorporated.
Step 3
Slowly add in the flour, then mix at medium speed for about 5 minutes, or until the dough starts to form a large ball and no longer sticks to the side of the bowl.
Step 4
Butter a bowl and add the prepared dough to it. Let rise in a warm draft-free place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
For the Gingerbread Filling
Step 1
Add all ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix until fluffy.
For the Assembly
Step 1
Once dough has risen, punch it down and place on a floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle of ¼ inch thickness. Spread the dough with the gingerbread filling, then working from the long side, tightly roll up the dough. Seal the seam, then cut the log of dough into 8 equal sized rolls.
Step 2
Line a 10 inch skillet with parchment paper and place the cinnamon buns inside, leaving some space between each one. Tent with a tea towel and let rise again for about 45 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350˚F. Bake the the buns until dark golden brown, or about 25 minutes.
For the Eggnog Glaze
Step 1
Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl and drizzle in the eggnog and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Add to buns once they have cooled slightly. Top with pomegranate arils and enjoy!
