Cinnamon Rolls
Orange Rolls
(Great for Easter morning too!)
In small bowl, combine:
2 Tbl. yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/8 tsp. sugar
In large mixer:
1 cube butter or margarine
2 cups warm milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. salt
6-1/2 cups flour (could use 2 cups whole wheat flour combined with more white flour)
Yeast mixture
Combine milk, butter, salt, and sugar. Add eggs and yeast mixture. Add flour a cup at a time, mixing thoroughly. Continue to add flour until mixture pulls away from sides of bowl. Turn onto floured counter and knead a bit. Put in greased bowl and allow to rise. Punch down. Divide mixture in half. Roll onto floured counter into large rectangle.
For Cinnamon rolls:
Spread or brush on almost-melted butter to very edges.
Make desired amount of cinnamon-sugar mixture and sprinkle generously over buttered dough.
Roll up. Cut with dental floss into 1" slices.
Put on greased stoneware pan to rise. Can be covered with dishcloth while rising.
When risen, bake at 375 degrees until barely golden brown.
Frost with Cream Cheese frosting: (This is a softer cream cheese frosting, so it's more spreadable and melty on the cinnamon rolls)
1/2 cube cream cheese
1 cube margarine (I like Blue Bonnet)
4-5 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2-3 Tbl. milk, as needed.
