Directions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, instant dry milk, and active dry yeast. Stir gently to dissolve.
-
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy and active.
-
Add 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture.
-
Using a dough hook or sturdy spoon, mix at medium speed for 4 minutes until the batter is smooth.
-
Add the ground ginger, vegetable oil, salt, cinnamon, and another 1 1/2 cups of flour.
-
Mix at low speed for another 4 minutes until the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Gradually add the remaining flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a smooth, resilient ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
-
Grease a large bowl with a small amount of oil or margarine. Place the dough ball in the bowl and turn it once to coat the top.
-
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in volume.
-
Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
-
Knead the dough lightly for a minute, then form it back into a ball.
-
Place the dough back in the greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise for another 45 minutes to 1 hour until doubled again.
-
While the dough rises, grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with oil or margarine.
-
Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently to remove air.
-
Roll the dough out into a 9x16-inch rectangle.
-
If desired, spread a thin layer of softened margarine over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar substitute and cinnamon mixture.
-
Starting from the long side, roll the dough up tightly into a log, like a jelly roll.
-
Cut the log into 24 equal slices.
-
Place the slices, cut side down, into the prepared baking pan, spacing them evenly.
-
Cover the pan loosely with a cloth and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
-
Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
-
Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
-
Transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm for the best texture.
