My husband and our four sons are delighted when I bake these sweetly satisfying cinnamon rolls with a terrific caramel glaze. They make any meal special. Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°) |
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter) |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
7-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
filling: |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon |
caramel glaze: |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 cup miniature marshmallows |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, potatoes, eggs, salt and whole wheat flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into thirds. Roll each portion into a 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle; spread with melted butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges.
4. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal. Cut each into 12 slices; place cut side down in three greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
5. Bake at 350° for 27-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
6. Meanwhile, for glaze, combine the cream, sugars and butter in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in marshmallows until melted. Beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Drizzle over rolls. Yield: 3 dozen.
