Cinnamon Sweet Rolls

Ingredients and Instructions

In glass bowl:

*1/2 cup warm Water
*1 1/2 tablespoons Yeast
*1/4 teaspoon sugar

Let sit until foamy.

Combine the following in stand mixer:

*3/4 cup milk, I like to use reconstituted dry milk
*1/2 cup Butter Flavored Shortening
*1/2 cup Sugar
*2 Eggs
*1 teaspoon Salt
*2 cups White Wheat Flour

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

Slowly add:

*2 and 3/4 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. Roll out dough and spread the shortening/butter over rolled out dough and sprinkle with Sugar and Cinnamon.

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:

*1/2 cup Brown Sugar, optional for extra sweetness

*1/3 cup Sugar

*1 to 2 tablespoons Cinnamon

*5 tablespoons Butter

*1/4 cup Butter flavored Crisco (Shortening)

Spread butter and Shortening on rolled out dough and sprinkle with brown sugar, sugar and cinnamon. 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 Sweet Rolls 20-23 minutes at 350* F.

Makes about 20 Cinnamon Sweet Rolls.

Remove from oven and let cool and top with the following Glaze /Frosting.
