Description

These homemade cinnamon rolls offer a comforting twist on the classic breakfast staple. The dough is light and airy, enriched with a touch of sweetness that balances the warm spice of the cinnamon filling. Plump raisins add bursts of natural fruitiness and texture in every bite. Perfect for a cozy weekend morning or a special holiday brunch, these rolls are best served warm. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. While they require a little patience for rising, the result is a tender, homemade treat that tastes far superior to any store-bought version. A delightful way to bring the aroma of fresh baking into your kitchen.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine 2 cups of the flour, yeast, and sugar substitute in a large bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine milk, 1/3 cup margarine, and salt; heat until the mixture reaches 120 to 130 degrees F.
  3. Pour the warm liquid mixture into the flour mixture.
  4. Add the eggs and beat at low speed with an electric mixer for 30 seconds.
  5. Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes.
  6. Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, stirring until a stiff dough forms.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  8. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  9. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to grease the top.
  10. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees F), free from drafts, for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
  11. Punch the dough down and divide it in half.
  12. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  13. Roll one half of the dough into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle.
  14. Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of margarine over low heat.
  15. Brush half of the melted margarine over the rolled-out dough.
  16. Combine 2 teaspoons sugar substitute and ground cinnamon, stirring to blend; sprinkle half over the dough.
  17. Sprinkle with half of the raisins.
  18. Roll up jellyroll fashion, beginning at the long side; press edges and ends together securely.
  19. Cut into 12 slices.
  20. Arrange slices in a 9-inch round baking pan coated with cooking spray.
  21. Repeat the process with the remaining dough, melted margarine, sugar mixture, and raisins.
  22. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, for 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
  23. Bake at 375 degrees F (191&# 194;°C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  24. Cool slightly; remove from pans and serve warm.
