Preparation

Step 1

Combine ingredients in the bread machine according to manufacturer’s instructions. Use 4 cups of flour to start. Add more flour in case the dough is too wet. Program for Dough and allow the machine to do its magic. When the dough is ready, roll out on a lightly floured surface until you have a 12 x 15-inch rectangle. Spread butter over surface. In small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over butter. Roll up dough, jelly-roll fashion, starting from the long edge and pinching the seam to seal. Slice into 12 equal portions and arrange evenly in a greased, 9 x 13-inch pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, remove from refrigerator and allow to rest 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake rolls until browned, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Glaze with icing.

Combine ingredients in a small mixing bowl, stirring with a wooden spoon until combined.

Note: Some readers have had to add up to 1 cup more flour. This may depend on how you measure flour, what combination of whole wheat to unbleached you use, and the humidity in your part of the country.

Well, you would follow the traditional way of making bread. Warm the milk, proof the yeast. Add the sugar and butter. Then add the dry ingredients. Stir well. Then knead until a soft dough forms. Do you have a stand mixer? You can do it with the bread hook as well.

I make it all into rolls, you can freeze it.
