Our favorite Sunday morning breakfast is homemade cinnamon rolls. I can mix these up on a Saturday afternoon, throw everything into the bread machine, and then have them rolled out and assembled in minutes. With some fruit on the side, we can have a special breakfast without too much fuss.
So if you'd like to make your own whole wheat bread machine cinnamon rolls, here's what you do.
Dough Ingredients:
- 1 c. + 2 T. warm milk
- 3 T. melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 4 c. white-wheat flour
- 1 t. salt
- 1 T. yeast
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 2 T. softened butter
- sprinkling of cinnamon
Icing:
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 1 T. milk
- dash of salt
- 1 t. vanilla
Directions:
- Put ingredients into bread machine pan in order listed.
- Select the 'dough' cycle.
- When the dough is mixed, roll out into a large rectangle.
- Spread the softened butter onto the dough.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon (to your liking) over the butter.
- Roll tightly.
- Slice into 3/4" rolls and place on a buttered cookie sheet.
- Bake at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Drizzle icing over the rolls immediately.
- Serve warm.

These were great! I made a few changes, most significantly allowing for a second rising once they were filled, rolled, and sliced -- I put them into a very slightly warm oven for 30 mins before baking. I also added a few spoonsful of applesauce along with the butter + sugar + cinnamon, and I used 2.5 T of vital wheat gluten, and a mix of white and whole wheat flour -- I don't have any white-wheat flour & didn't feel like hitting the grocery store!
ReplyDeleteBut the point is, they were delicious, even without the icing (which I opted to skip, having had plenty of sweet Easter treats already today...) Thanks for a great and not-insanely-nutritionally-devastating recipe!
