Made these for Christmas day, rolled and cut them, with second cold proof over nite and baked them in the morning. They were massive. I used real butter and brown sugar during preparation. Made royal icing (cream cheese & powdered sugar. Excellent.

i really enjoyed these cinnamon rolls i have been a chef for 15 years and not too big on the baking end of things until lately and we also don't use too much white flour in my house...so i did use whole wheat flour and i added raisins. i got 28 large cinnamon rolls out of this reciepe and i did let them proof for about an hour the second time after they were formed i made my own glaze for them because the reviews for the reciepe in here were a little un favorable...i made a simple syrup 1c sugar 1c water 1oz Grand Mariner and 1/2 cup rasins and cooked it until it was a syrup consistansy they came ut wonderful!!! and they were unbelieveable with whole wheat flour
