Soft Cinnamon Rolls

Large Batch

Ingredients and Instructions

In glass bowl:

*1 cup warm Water

*2 tablespoons Yeast

*2 tablespoons Sugar

Let sit until foamy.

Combine the following in stand mixer:

*1 and 1/2 cups Milk, I like to use reconstituted dry milk

*1 cup Butter Flavored Shortening

*1 cup Sugar

*4 Eggs

*2 teaspoon Sea Salt

*2 cups White Wheat Pastry Flour

Mix on medium low-speed until combined, then add to the foamy yeast mixture.

Slowly add:

*5 and 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour, add more as needed

Mix again 8-10 minutes until a slightly sticky ball of dough or you can mix and knead bread dough by hand.

When you are finished mixing / kneading the bread, cover with a damp cloth and let rise 1 and 1/2 hours or until doubled in size. Divide the dough into two dough balls and roll out each dough ball into a rectangular shape . Then divide the cinnamon sugar mixture in half spread onto each rolled out rectangular dough shape.

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:

*1 cup Brown Sugar, packed

*5 tablespoons Cinnamon

*3/4 cup Melted Butter

Start making cinnamon roll “log”, by rolling up one of the longer sides of the rolled out dough, rolling and tucking the dough towards the opposite long side of the rolled out dough making “cinnamon roll log”.

Cut each cinnamon roll with dental floss or knife, about an inch for each roll. Place cut rolls on a half baking sheet and let rise until double in size or about 35 minutes. Note: You can place rolls in a warm spot like by a sunny window and cover rolls with a flour sack dish towel.

Pre-heated oven to 350* F. and bake Cinnamon Rolls 23-25 minutes or until lightly golden.

Makes about 40 Cinnamon Rolls.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly and top with the following Cream Cheese Frosting.
