I got a recipe from Valene King. She lives in Gunnison and worked for Dwight for several years. She's a great cook, and I heard about this recipe from a common friend. I called her today to get the recipe, and she said she was in the middle of making them at that very minute for a fireside at her home in two hours. She said she can make these in one hour! It took me 90 minutes. Here's the recipe:
Sweet Rolls - Valene King
In your bread mixer bowl of other large mixing bowl combine
4 c. hot water
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. oil (I used canola)
3 eggs
Add and mix well
6 c. flour
6 T. SAF instant yeast
Add the rest of these ingredients and mix until just well combined. No kneading.
4 c. flour
1 T. salt
Let the dough sit in the mixing bowl. Put a damp cloth on top of the bowl. Let rise until double in bulk while you prepare
1/2 c. melted butter (to spread on the rolled out dough)
1 c. sugar (mix the sugar and cinnamon to spread on the rolled out dough)
2 t. cinnamon
When the bread dough has become double in bulk, pull out 1/3 of the dough and put it on a well floured surface. Flip it over so that both sides have flour on them. Roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Spread with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Roll the long edge to the top. Pinch the edge of the dough into the roll. Cut into 1 1/4 inch thick rolls. Place them on a greased cookie sheet to rise.
Repeat this step for the rest of the dough in your bowl. (I made 16 rolls with each 1/3 of the dough. So I ended up with 48 sweet rolls.) When the rolls look like they have "filled out," bake them.
Bake at 400 degrees for 11 to 12 minutes. Frost with buttercream or cream cheese frosting.
Good luck!
