Sweet Bread Cinnamon Roll Recipe: Missionary Style

Dough

1 ½ cups Scalded Milk
2 eggs
1 C. warm water
3 tsp. (1 pkg) Yeast
½ C. Sugar
~7 Cups Bread Flour, Divided
½ C. Butter, (softened or melted)
2 tsp Salt, (optional)
Honey


When you walk in the door for the night at 9:00 PM, and before nightly planning, sprinkle yeast on top of water and add 1 big squirt of honey. Set aside to proof. Scald milk. Review the day and add numbers up. Run back to the kitchen to proceed with the dough. In a large bowl, combine milk, eggs, sugar and butter. Mix well on high speed. Add yeast mixture (and salt if desired) and mix for one minutes. Then add in 3 cups of flour and mix on high speed for 5 minutes. Plan for the next day and have your companion call your dinner appointment. Gradually add in ~3 additional cups of flour slowly until you have to mix flour in by hand. Dough will be sticky to the touch. On a clean smooth surface, knead in the last cup of flour. Rise until doubled in a greased bowl.

While the dough rises, brush teeth, wash face, change into pajamas, talk to district leader or zone leader, pray. To speed the rising process up, place bowl over a hot water bath or on a pre-heated oven stove-top.

To make the cinnamon rolls, roll out half the dough to 12 in x 18 in x ¼ in. Add desired cinnamon mixture. Roll dough so that the dough is 18 inches long. Cut with floss about ever 1 ¼ inches. Place in greased glass 9x13 pan. You can add ½ cup corn syrup to the bottom of the pan to caramelize the bottoms. Another option is to add melted butter on top of the cut roll. Let rise over night. If you live with members, the members you live with will then offer to finish cleaning the kitchen so you can be in bed by 10:30. (THANK YOU DAVIS FAMILY!!!) or else leave the mess for the morning.

After you wake up and say your morning prayer, run to the kitchen and try and cream the butter you forgot to leave out on the counter over night (that was in the fridge that acts as a freezer) with the even colder cream cheese. Give up after 15 minutes into morning exercise time and add the remaining icing ingredients. Beat until it is as smooth as you can get it. Spend the remaining exercise time cleaning the cinnamon mess up that has encrusted itself on the counter. Great early morning arm work out. Get ready for the day and have personal and companion study.

When you arrive for zone/district meeting at the church, Preheat the oven to 350°F then go sing the opening hymn and stay for the prayer. At the end of the prayer, stick the cinnamon rolls in the oven. Say the TSAM purpose statement and listen to 3 shares. Take cinnamon rolls out of the oven. Enjoy eating cinnamon rolls during the remaining trainings. Leave the dirty pans for the next morning's exercise time for an additional arm work out.

If companions are ill, double the normal recipe size and make it while they are taking a nap. Give excess cinnamon rolls to any and all hungry Elders at the next p-day or time you see them, depending on what comes first. Reserve one pan for the Davis family.
