How to Make Whole Wheat Super Cinnamon Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well.
  3. Gradually add whole wheat flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (approximately 12x18 inches).
  7. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
  9. Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side.
  10. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  11. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  12. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  13. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  14. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Let cool slightly before frosting with cream cheese icing. Enjoy!
