Heavenly Cinnamon Rolls image

A great substitute for those heavy, buttery cinnamon roll recipes. This one will blow you away. Just remember that the dough before the first rising may be a bit sticky, but not adding any more flour at this point guarantees a fluffy masterpiece.

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.

I had some trouble getting the dough to rise properly. I think I might have added too much flour. Other than that, the cinnamon rolls were delicious.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.
