I serve these yummy frosted rolls warm from the oven as a Christmas morning treat at our house. Even if you are not accustomed to working with yeast dough, you'll find this dough is easy to handle. Ingredients:
5 to 6 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 package yellow cake mix (regular size) |
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) quick-rise yeast |
2-1/2 cups warm water (120° to 130°) |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
frosting: |
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
3 cups confectioners' sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 to 3 tablespoons 2% milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups flour, cake mix, yeast and warm water until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 14x10-in. rectangle. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
4. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Cut each roll into 12 slices; place cut side down in two greased 13x9-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 20 minutes.
5. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 20 minutes. For frosting, in a large bowl, cream the butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Frost warm rolls. Yield: 2 dozen.
