Easy No-Knead Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls For the Freezer ~ With Honey'd Orange Glaze!
Author: Laura
Serves: 15-18
- 1 cup warm (but not hot!) water
- 2 Tablespoons yeast (active dry)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2½ cups milk
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup honey
- 4 teaspoons sea salt
- 7-8 cups whole wheat flour (I use freshly ground hard white wheat)
- In a large bowl, mush the yeast and 2 teaspoons honey together with the warm water and set aside. It will begin to form bubbles soon.
- In the meantime, stir together milk, butter, ½ cup honey, and sea salt on the stove until the butter has melted and the mixture has reached 120°.
- If the temp exceeds this, allow it to cool before moving on.
- Pour the milk mixture into the bubbly yeast mixture and stir.
- Mix in flour, two cups at a time until a nice dough has formed.
- Do not knead. (There is no need.)
- Cover the dough and allow it to rise for at least one hour, or until you remember that you were making rolls.
- Prepare the innards:
- Ingredients for the “innards” of your cinnamon rolls: ½ cup melted butter, ½ cup sucanat or brown sugar, and ½ Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- On a well-floured surface, roll the dough to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Spread melted butter over the rolled dough.
- Sprinkle with sucanat, then cinnamon.
- Roll up the dough from the outsides of the "dough circle" as pictured above.
- Cut apart the two rolled lengths, then cut the dough into ½ inch thick rolls.
- Place the rolls side-by-side on a baking pan.
- Allow them to rest/rise for about 20 minutes, then bake the rolls in a 350° oven for about 25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Glaze and serve!
