Makes 8 rolls, approximately 200 calories each
Ingredients:
Rolls:
½ cup warm milk
3 Tbsp.(1.5oz.) melted butter, divided
3 Tbsp. sugar, divided
1 1/4 tsp yeast
8.44 oz all purpose flour
½ egg, lightly beaten
⅛ tsp. salt
Filling:
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Icing:
1 ½ Tbsp. (.75 oz.) butter, softened
1 Tbsp. heavy cream
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup powdered sugar
Directions:
Prepare Dough: (Day 1- In Class)
In a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid, combine warm milk (100-110 degrees), half of the melted butter (1 ½ Tbsp/ .75 oz), ½ Tbsp sugar, and yeast. Let stand 5 minutes. Add the egg, salt, and remaining sugar. Stir in ⅓ of the flour; let stand 10 minutes.
Add half of the remaining flour and the salt to the mixture; stir until a soft dough forms (dough will be sticky).
Lightly flour your counter, and turn out dough. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 6 minutes). Add the remaining flour 1 Tbsp. at a time to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
Place dough in a large mixing bowl coated with cooking spray, and turn the dough to coat with the spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees) 35 minutes or until doubled in size.
Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.
Prepare Rolls: (Day 2 - In Class)
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface; roll dough into a 9x5 inch rectangle. Brush remaining melted butter over dough. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar mixture. Roll up dough tightly, and pinch seam. to seal.
Cut dough into 8 even rolls (cut in half, then in half again…) You can use unflavored dental floss.
Arrange rolls cut side up in a baking pan coated with cooking spray.
Bake Rolls (Day 3- In Class)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Uncover rolls, and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
Prepare icing while baking: Combine 1 ½ Tbsp. softened butter with cream and whisk. Add vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar, stir until blended. Spread icing over warm rolls.
