Ingredients
- Dough:
- 5 tsp. active dry traditional yeast (about 2 pkgs of .25 oz or 7 g.), NOT rapid-rise yeast!
- 1/4 C. warm water
- 1 tsp. granulated sugar
- 1/2 C. slightly warm buttermilk (you can also make your own buttermilk by adding 2 tsp. lemon juice to 1/2 C. regular milk and letting it "curdle" a few minutes)
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1.5 C. cooled boiled & mashed yam (wash & prick yams all over with fork, cover w/ water and boil (or cover w/ foil and bake) till tender/easily pierced with fork, drain, peel skin, and then mash)--can also use sweet potato
- 1/2 C. brown sugar (dark or light)
- 1Tbs. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 C. canola or vegetable oil
- 7 C. unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 C. (about 1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- Cinnamon Filling:
- 1/2 C. granulated sugar (if you like a little less sweet, you can cut sugars to 1/4 C. each)
- 1/2 C. brown sugar
- 2 Tbs. cinnamon
- 1/2 C. currants, raisins, dried cranberries or other berries (I used dried cranberries; if dried fruit is very hard, soak in enough hot water to barely cover until moist and then drain before using)
- Cream cheese frosting (optional, but yummy!):
- 6 Tbs. unsalted butter, softened but still cool
- 3 oz (about 1/3 C.) cream cheese, softened but still cool
- 3 C. (12 oz) powdered sugar
- 4 Tbs (2 1/4 oz) regular milk OR coconut milk (for coconut flavor)
Description
Yes, This Is A Yeast Dough So It Is A Time Commitment In The Kitchen...but SO Much Better Than Cinnabon At The Mall Or Even A Traditional Cinnamon Roll, I Think; It Will Be Well…
