I will often make cinnamon rolls when making a yeast bread. Because they’re the same recipe it’s just too convenient !

Ingredients

DOUGH:

3 1/2 cup freshly milled whole wheat (whatever wheat you choose will work)

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil

1 1/4 cup warm water

~ Autolyse before adding salt and yeast ~

1 tsp salt

2 tsp yeast

 

FILLING:

1 cup brown sugar

3 Tablespoons cinnamon

1/2 cup softened butter (I use salted)

 

FROSTING:

8 oz. softened cream cheese

1/2 cup butter (I use salted)

1/4-1/2 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients into mixer bowl (except salt and yeast), and mix with the beater attatchment until combined, cover and let sit in warm place to autolyse for at least 10 minutes.

  2. Once the autolyse process is complete, add the salt and yeast. Again, with the beater attachment, mix until combined and then place the dough hook on and knead for 7 minutes.

  3. Remove hook, cover bowl and place in warm place until dough doubles in size.

  4. Oil surface where you will prep the dough, also keep hands oiled. 

  5. Roll the dough out in a 14×8-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter on top. Mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle it all over the dough. Roll up the dough to make a 14-inch log. Cut into 10–12 even rolls and arrange in a lightly buttered 9- or 10-inch baking dish.

  6. Cover with a clean towel and place cinnamon rolls in a warm place until they double in size. At this time, preheat oven to 350°F.

  7. Once doubled, warm 1/4 cup of milk and drizzle over each roll.

  8. Place in preheated (350°F) oven for 25 minutes or until light golden brown.

  9. Remove from oven to let cool.

  10. While the rolls are cooling, add butter and cream cheese to mixer and beat until smooth (a couple minutes). Once smooth, add the honey and again beat until smooth. 

  11. Spread over cinnamon rolls.

  12. Serve and enjoy!
