How
To Make Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls :
In
a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and water. In a large bowl, combine
molasses, brown sugar, egg, oil, salt, yeast mixture and 1-1/2 cups flour; beat
on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft
dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn
dough onto a floured surface; knead 6-8 minutes (dough will be sticky). Place
in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm
place until doubled, about 1 hour.
For
filling, mix sugars and spices. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured
surface. Press dough into a 12x8-in. rectangle. Brush with butter to within 1/2
in. of edges; sprinkle with sugar mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting
with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices.
Place
in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan, cut side down. Cover; let rise in a warm
place until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat
oven to 350°. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. In a small bowl, mix
confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and enough milk to reach desired
consistency; spread over warm rolls.
Note:
The recipe for the roll dough does not need to be made in a bread machine, but
can be made by dissolving the yeast in warm water for 5 minutes. Then add
remaining ingredients. Knead dough to form a ball. Cover and let rise until
doubled in size. Punch down and allow to rise again, until doubled in size.
Proceed with the instructions for assembly.
