Ingredients
- 3 1/4 teaspoons active, dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3/4 cup skim or one percent warm milk
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup buttery spread
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup egg mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
- non-stick cooking spray
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 teaspoons skim or one percent milk
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°
- Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk and 1/4 cup warm water. Let stand 5 minutes or until foamy.
- Add buttery spread, honey, salt, lemon juice, egg mix, and water. Stir well.
- Add 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour to bowl, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Add enough of remaining all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel sticky).
- Place dough in a large bowl coated with non-stick cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (1 hour or until doubled in size).
- Punch dough down; roll into a 16 x 12 inch rectangle on a floured surface. Coat surface of dough with non-stick cooking spray.
- Filling: Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and sprinkle over dough. Leave a half-inch border.
- Sprinkle raisins over dough, and press them gently into the dough. Starting with a long edge, roll up rectangle tightly. Press firmly to eliminate air pockets, and pinch seam to seal.
- Coat a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cut rolled dough into 16 sections, and place rolls, cut side up, into baking pan.
- Cover and let rise 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Bake 22 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.
- Glaze: Place powdered sugar and vanilla in a small bowl. Add 5 teaspoons milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, stirring to form a thick glaze. Drizzle glaze evenly over rolls.
