Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup white sugar, divided
2 ½ teaspoons dry yeast
¾ cup warm water
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 eggs
¾ cup applesauce
½ teaspoon salt
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons honey
½ cup raisins

Steps:

  • Stir 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the yeast into the warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Whisk together the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Beat together the eggs, applesauce, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast mixture. Beat in half of the flour mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining flour, a 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a sticky dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until fairly smooth but still sticky, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) for 30 minutes. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 16x20 inch rectangle. Spread the honey over the dough; sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar and raisins. Beginning with the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log shape, and pinch to seal the seam. Cut into 12 equal size pieces. Place the rolls into the prepared pan cut side up. Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

½ cup applesauce
½ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 oz light cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Generously butter a 9-inch (23 cm) cast iron or cake pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together warm almond milk, melted coconut oil, and sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (40˚C). If hotter, allow to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add 4 cups (460 g) of whole wheat flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • In a small bowl combine the applesauce, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Remove the towel and add remaining whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
  • Knead the dough lightly until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ¼-inch (½ cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled out dough, spreading right to the edges.
  • Gently roll the dough into a large log and slice it into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces.
  • Place the cinnamon rolls in the greased cake pan, leaving some space between them, and bake for 30 minutes.
  • While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the light cream cheese, coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond milk, and maple syrup, until smooth.
  • Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Once cool, remove from pan and drizzle frosting over the rolls before serving.

Tips:

  • When you roll out the dough, be sure to roll it out evenly so that the cinnamon sugar filling is evenly distributed.
