Yield 12 Rolls

Number Of Ingredients 19

Dough:
1 cup warm almond milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sweetener
1 tsp salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp dry yeast
1/4 cup gluten
4-5 cups flour, divided
Filling:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter (not too hot)
1/2 cup sweetener
4 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins optional
Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 tspn vanilla extract.

Steps:

  • 1. In large mixing bowl, combine and stir ingredients in order listed, adding about 3-4 cups of flour. Knead dough and add additional flour as necessary to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead dough for 5-10 min., until smooth and elastic. 2. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease both sides and cover with a clean towel. Set dough in a warm place to rise until double in size. If you have a bread machine, you can use the dough setting in place of steps 1 and 2 here. 3. Punch dough down and then cover and let dough rest for 10 min. If using raisins, boil them for a few minutes in some water, then drain. 4. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle about 12" x 20". Spread with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. Sprinkle raisins over if using. 5. Roll dough into a log, starting at the longest side of the rectangle. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Slice into 12 slices. We use a clean strip of dental floss for this step. Just slip the floss under the dough and bring both ends up, crossing over the top and pulling tightly in opposite directions to cut the dough. 6. place the rolls, cut side down, in a greased 9X13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 20-30 min., until almost double in size. 7. Bake rolls in a pre-heated oven; If using a glass baking dish, bake at 350 degrees; if using a metal baking dish bake at 375 degrees. After 15 min. of baking, lay a piece of foil loosely over the tops of the rolls to prevent them from getting too browned on top. My rolls usually take at least 18-20 min. check the rolls (middle). 8. After taking dish from oven, cool rolls on a wire rack. If you wish to eat them warm, spread frosting on them while they are still in the dish. 9. To make the frosting, cream butter and cream cheese in a bowl. Mix in vanilla and then powdered sugar.
