Ingredients

4 Cups Whole Wheat Flour I use prairie gold white wheat. If you have a courser wheat flour, you many want to mix half of it with white flour.
2 Tbs Active Dry Yeast
1 Cup Milk warm
3/4 Cup Water warm
3 Tbs Honey or Sugar
1 Tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Butter or another oil

Filling

6 Tbs Melted butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tsp Cinnamon

Glaze for top

1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar This is an estimate, I never measure I just dump and stir until the consistency is right.
1 Tbs Milk
2 Shakes Cinnamon

Instructions

Using a stand mixer, mix two cups of the flour, 2 tbs yeast, the sugar and the warm milk and water. Add the butter or oil, and salt along with the remaining flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a bit more, then shape into a rectangle. Roll it out to 1/2" thickness. Spread the melted butter-sugar mixture over the dough. Either roll into cinnamon rolls or cut into strips to make twists. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the pan while still hot making sure to get all of the cinnamon filling. Drizzle with the powdered sugar glaze. Serve warm if possible...Enjoy!
