Amazing Cinnamon Rolls

Add the following to an electric stand mixer or bowl:

6 cups warm water

2/3 cup oil

2/3 cup raw honey

2 Tablespoons SAF instant yeast

2 Tablespoons dough enhancer (optional)

1 cup instant mashed potato flakes (not pearls, also optional)

2 eggs

7 cups whole wheat flour (initially) We like to use Spelt, Khorasan, Khorasan white all purpose flour, Hard white wheat, or a mixture of all these grains.

2 Tablespoons salt

​

Mix above ingredients together for a few minutes.

 

Add more flour (2-3 more cups of whole grain or use white bread flour if you want) until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading/mixing the dough for a few minutes. Don't overmix when using ancient grains. 

 

Oil or grease hands and counter top or bread board. Dump dough out of mixer. Knead 8-10 minutes. 

Roll into large rectangle on counter. Spread softened butter (3-4 TBS), a thin layer of ground cinnamon, sprinkle thin layer of brown sugar and raisins and/or chocolate chips (optional). 

​

Roll into a log and slice into 1.5-2 in pieces. Place on greased cooking sheet and cover. Allow to raise until double in size. 

​

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven.

​

Top with cream cheese frosting and ENJOY!
