Time 2h15m

Yield 4 1/2 dozen, 55 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 quart whole milk
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/8 cup cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
16 ounces powdered sugar
2 teaspoons maple flavoring
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brewed coffee
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Mix the milk, vegetable oil and sugar in a pan. "Scald" the mixture (heat until just before the boiling point). Turn off heat and leave to cool 45 minutes to 1 hour. When the mixture is lukewarm to warm, but NOT hot, sprinkle in both packages of Active Dry Yeast. Let this sit for a minute. Then add 8 cups of all-purpose flour. Stir mixture together. Cover and let rise for at least an hour.
  • After rising for at least an hour, add 1 more cup of flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir mixture together. (At this point, you could cover the dough and put it in the fridge until you need it - overnight or even a day or two, if necessary. Just keep your eye on it and if it starts to overflow out of the pan, just punch it down).
  • When ready to prepare rolls: Sprinkle rolling surface generously with flour. Take half the dough and form a rough rectangle. Then roll the dough thin, maintaining a general rectangular shape. Drizzle 1/2 to 1 cup melted butter over the dough. Now sprinkle 1 cup of sugar over the butter followed by a generous sprinkling of cinnamon.
  • Now, starting at the opposite end, begin rolling the dough in a neat line toward you. Keep the roll relatively tight as you go. Next, pinch the seam of the roll to seal it.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of melted butter in a seven inch round foil cake or pie pan. Then begin cutting the rolls approximately ¾ to 1 inch thick and laying them in the buttered pans.
  • Repeat this process with the other half of the dough. Let the rolls rise for 20 to 30 minutes, then bake at 400 degrees (see note below) until light golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  • For the frosting, mix together all ingredients listed and stir well until smooth. It should be thick but pourable. Taste and adjust as needed. Generously drizzle over the warm rolls. Go crazy and don't skimp on the frosting.
  • Note: My rolls don't work for me at 400 degrees anymore. I now bake them at 375 degrees.

These cinnamon rolls are the best I've ever had! The dough is so soft and fluffy, and the glaze is the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these again.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit disappointing. The dough was too dry and the glaze was too sweet.

The glaze on these cinnamon rolls was a bit too runny, but the rolls themselves were delicious.

These cinnamon rolls were delicious, but they were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
