Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast or quick-rise yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 cup warm water (105° to 115°F)
1 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1 large egg
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
Cinnamon Smear:
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup flour or cake crumbs
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons fat-free milk
2-3 teaspoons cinnamon or to taste
Directions: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and ½ teaspoon sugar in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add milk, 1/4 cup sugar, salt and shortening to the yeast mixture. Stir in egg and whole wheat flour; beat 2 minutes. Gradually add bread flour. Dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

Knead until smooth and elastic, 10 to 15 minutes by hand or 10 minutes with dough hook. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to coat. Cover; let rise in a warm (95° to 100°F) place until double in size. Punch down dough; cover and let rise again. Punch down dough again; cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Mix smear ingredients together until smooth. Roll dough into a 12 x 16-inch rectangle and spread a thin layer of smear on the dough piece, leaving a 1-inch strip along one of the short edges uncovered. Brush the uncovered 1-inch dough strip with water. Beginning with the short, smeared edge, roll up, pinch to seal the un-smeared edge and cut into 12 rolls.

Place rolls in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Cover with a warm, damp towel; let rise in a warm (85°F) place until doubled in size. Bake in 375°F pre-heated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden.

Delicious!
Completely worth the time! They are so good, my whole family loved them. Next time, I would use less ingrediants for the smear, I ended up with a lot. But, i guess that made them extra gooey! :)

My friend and I tasted these at the National 2008 Commodity
Classic. They were so good. I am anxious to try the recipe.

Yummy Cinnamon Rolls ! My husband and son loved them and so did my church group when I made them recently. I added a sprinkle of raisins to the recipe...I have made them twice and they also turned out perfect !

I substituted honey for sugar in the dough. They were always a big hit at my son's day care.

This was my first stab at making cinnamon yeast rolls- they were delicious!! I added chopped pecans and raisins to the cinnamon smear, frosted with a cream-cheese glaze and sprinkled walnuts on top.
