Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls

I find that a lot of the time (prob most of the time) we complicate recipes with lots of unnecessary things. 

I had a epiphany when planning my recipe to make cinnamon rolls for my husbands birthday. Pizza dough. The perfect dough. 4 ingriedients, fluffy, easy and would be great rolled. 

Let me just say. It didn't disappoint. 

To. Die. For. 

Dough 

4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tbsp yeast

2 cups hot water

4 tbsp local honey

1 tsp Himalayan salt

Filling

1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon

1 stick organic butter softened

1 cup organic sugar

2 tbsp whole wheat flour

Frosting

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tbsp organic butter 

2 tbsp organic milk

1 tsp pure vanilla extract 

1. Mix yeast with hot water. Then with paddle on mixer, slowly add honey, flour and salt. Mix till a ball is formed. Adding more flour if needed. Cover and allow to rise for about 30-45 minutes. 

2. While dough is rising, make cinnamon mixture. 

3. Roll dough onto a floured surface. I like to use a clean dish cloth, to me makes for easier clean up. Roll into a large baking sheet size. 

4. Spread cinnamon mixture onto rolled dough all the way to edges. Roll into a pin wheel and push edges down. 

5. With a serated knife, slice into about 1 inch thick rolls. (Makes about 12 rolls)

6. Grease a 9 x 13 pan with coconut oil and arrange rolls. I recommend making the night before and placing in fridge to rise overnight. 

7. Bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes. 

8. Mix icing while baking and top rolls a few minutes after removed from oven. 

Enjoy!
