Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm milk
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 egg, lightly beaten plus 2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups flour (Add a bit more if dough seems too wet after first few minutes of kneading in the bread machine.)
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Filling (I doubled this since we like our filling, oh yes we do!):
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup brown sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Icing:
1 teaspoon milk
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
4 tablespoons (or less) butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla

Put the dough ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed and run on the dough cycle. After the dough cycle is finished, roll the dough into a large rectangle and spread it with 2 Tablespoons melted butter and 2/3 cup brown sugar mixed with 1 Tablespoon cinnamon.

Roll up and cut into 10-15 rolls and place in two greased round cake pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes or until browned. Spread the icing on as soon as they come out of the oven.

You can also cover the unbaked rolls with plastic wrap, stick them in the refrigerator overnight, and then bake in the morning. I do it all the time

Strawberry Bread

2 cups fresh strawberries
 3 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
 1 teaspoon baking soda
 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans

Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Slice strawberries, and place in medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle lightly with sugar, and set aside while preparing bread mixture. Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in large bowl: mix well. Blend oil and eggs into strawberries. Add strawberry mixture to flour mixture, blending until dry ingredients are just moistened. Stir in pecans. Divide batter into pans. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until tester inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn loaves out, and cool completely.

Easy Dinner Rolls

2 cups milk
½ cup  sugar
2T butter
1T yeast
1t salt
4 to 5 cups whole wheat flour (or a mix of white and wheat, whatever your preference is)

Combine milk, sweetener and butter in a saucepan and heat until the butter melts and sweetener is dissolved. Pour this into your mixing bowl (Bosch or Kitchen Aid). Let this cool until it is a little hotter than baby bath water. When it has cooled down, add yeast. Let it sit for a few minutes and get a little foamy. Add salt and half the flour. Mix and then add the rest of the flour. It may require a little more flour but you are looking for a soft dough that is not sticky. So add any extra flour a little at a time.

Knead for 4 to 5 minutes in a Bosch and 7 to 8 minutes in a Kitchen Aid mixer. Cover and let this rise in the bowl for about one hour or until it has doubled in size.

Turn the mixer on to punch it down and mix it up a bit. Take the dough out of the mixer and divide it into 12 pieces. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray. Roll the pieces of dough into balls and put them in the pan. Let this rise until double in size; 45 min. to an hour.

When they are done rising bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. As soon as they come out of the oven rub butter over the top of them.
