Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, and sugar. Stir in yeast and let it sit until frothy.
- Gradually add whole wheat flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangle and spread softened butter over it. Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar evenly across the surface. Add raisins if desired.
- Starting from one side, roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the cut rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
