Wheat Cinnamon Rolls

This is so scrumptious and so easy, I promise. Do you remember my wheat bread recipe I posted? Well you can use that same recipe to make super yummy cinnamon rolls. I made these the other day and took pictures as a went so I could post them along with the recipe.

2 1/2 cups of warm water

1 T yeast (heaping)

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup oil

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup gluten flour (optional)

7-8 cups of wheat flour

-Pour the warm water and yeast into your mixer.

-Measure the oil FIRST, and then the honey in the same measuring cup (the honey slides out easier).

-Add the salt and gluten flour and mix for just a couple of seconds on low speed.

-Add about 6 cups of flour all at once and start your mixer on the low speed while it incorporates everything, and then you can put it on a slightly faster speed (no higher than 4, if it's like mine). The trick with this bread is not to dump all of the flour in right at the beginning because each time you mix a new batch it ends up taking a slightly different amount. Add flour about 1/4 cup at a time after the original 6 cups until the dough starts pulling away from the sides and the bottom.

-Once you have the right amount of flour, let it knead/mix on speeds 3 or 4 for 5 minutes.

-With a little oil on your hands and some on your mat (or countertop), roll out the dough into a rectangle.

-Spread softened butter over the entire rectangle with a butter knife. Don't be afraid of it - be somewhat generous.

-Then sprinkle brown sugar (again, BE GENEROUS!) and cinnamon so it covers all of it except for the very edge of the dough closest to you.
-Roll it up started with the furthest edge and roll towards you. Don't force it - it should just come easily.

-Get your dental floss, slide it under the dough, and pull it through the middle so you have two halves. It's easiest to start with a half at first. Cut it with the floss so each piece is about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
-Place them on a lined baking sheet. I only sprayed mine, and I ended up with a lot of baked on sugar. Not easy to clean off!
-Let the rolls rise under a dish cloth for about 30 mins. Then ake at 350 for 25 mins.
-Allow to cool a bit and then frost or glaze (if you're serving right away you can just frost it right then and serve). I used Paula Dean's glaze recipe found here and it turned out great!

ENJOY!
