Cinnamon Rolls<\/p><\/div>\n

Warning: Cinnamon rolls take time – lots of time. The following recipe is 4-5 hours or overnight. This recipe is supposed to make 12, but I always end up with 16-20 rolls.<\/p>\n

5 cups cheap all purpose flour (or 4.5 cups of King Arthur AP flour)
\n1\/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
\n1\/2 cup seedless raisins (optional)
\n3 eggs, beaten
\n7 T shortening
\n7 T white granulated sugar, plus 2 tsp sugar
\n1\/4 cup packed brown sugar
\n2 T warm water (105-115F)
\n1 T ground cinnamon
\n1 T active dry yeast
\n1 tsp salt<\/p>\n

4 T – 8 T melted butter, or as much or less as you want<\/p>\n

Scald 1 cup of milk (I like to put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, on high for a minute, stir, then on high again for 30 seconds). Add shortening, stir well. Set aside to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes).<\/p>\n

In a small bowl, combine yeast, water, and 2 tsp sugar. Let sit for 3-5 minutes or until frothy.<\/p>\n

In a large mixing bowl, combine white sugar, eggs, and salt. Add cooled milk mixture, mix well. Add yeast mixture, mix well. Add flour, mix well for 3-5 minutes, until all the flour is completely incorporated.<\/p>\n

Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (3-4 hours).<\/p>\n

Lightly flour the surface of the dough and your hands. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. You might want to lightly flour your rolling pin, as well. Roll dough to a thickness of 1\/4 inch, rectangle optional.<\/p>\n

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon until the color becomes a uniform brown.<\/p>\n

Spread the surface of the rolled dough generously with melted butter. Sprinkle cinnamon mixture as evenly as possible across the surface. Follow suit with pecans and\/or raisins.<\/p>\n

Starting at one side of your dough, fold dough in tightly and roll as snugly as you can to the opposite side. Cut into 1 inch slices and place directly into lightly greased baking tin. Place rolls 1\/4 inch to 1 inch apart. Cover and let rise 30 minutes, or cover and store in the refrigerator up to 48 hours. (Remove from refrigerator and let rise 30 minutes before baking.)<\/p>\n

Bake 15-30 minutes in a 375F oven, until tops are golden brown (eggwash optional). Just keep an eye on them after the 15 minute mark. I use the middle rack.<\/p>\n

When I bake 4 in my 8 inch brownie pan, I only bake them for 15 minutes. Same thing if I squeeze them into a circle on my cookie sheet. When I put 8 in my lasagna pan, I have to bake them quite a bit longer, hence the “15-30” minute range on baking times.<\/p>\n
