Cinnamon Rolls
Dough: 1 package yeast 2 1/2 cups bread flour 1/4 cup melted butter 1 cup whole wheat flour (I use veg. oil) 1/2 cup warm water 2 eggs (try egg beaters) 2/3 cup warm milk 3 Tbs sugar Filling: 1/2 cup melted butter 1 Tbs cinnamon 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup chopped nuts 1/2 cup raisins 9soaked in water to plump, drained) Icing: 2 cups powdered sugar juice of 1 orange or lemon (3 Tbs) 2 Tbs corn syrup Bread maker: Dump all dough ingredients in and select "Manual White". By hand: put yeast in warm water until foamy, then add other dough ingredients and knead like normal bread. Let rise until doubled. Roll out on floured board to a large thin rectangle, 22 by 14 inches. Brush dough with melted butter. Combine Filling ingredients and sprinkle over. Roll jellyroll fashion, starting with long edge. Seal edges and slice into 10 - 20 rolls. Place cut side down onto baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled again (about 45 minutes). Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes. Drizzle with icing. Notes: This made 19 rolls for me and way too much icing. I'd easily cut the icing in half and have plenty left over. As my husband said: "This is _TOO_ good." It is a good recipe, requires a Saturday morning, and a willingness to get a bit "dusty." :-)
