Cinnamon buns

Dough

  • 1¼ cups warm water
  • 2 tsp baking yeast
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt

Spice spread

  • ¼ cup margarine
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg

Sugar spread

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • ¼ cut walnuts

Method

  1. Make the dough as per usual (combine the water, yeast and sugar; let the mix sit for 10 minutes; mix in the flour and salt; knead for 5 minutes).
  2. Roll the dough out as thin as you can without it tearing. Try to aim for aim for a rectangular shape.
  3. Mix and smear the spice spread thinly across the entire surface.
  4. Sprinkle the sugar spread evenly across all the surface save for one edge (which will become the outer rim).
  5. Roll the dough up from the inner rim to outer.
  6. Slice the long roll thick disks. About 12-15 rolls should come from this.
  7. Cover and let rise for 2 hours before baking at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
  8. Let cool before icing. A mixture of 1 part icing sugar and 1 part Tofutti cream cheese has worked well for me.
