DANISH PASTRY CINNAMON ROLLS
Danish pastries are the flakiest and the most buttery of all the sweet rolls. These cinnamon rolls just melt in your mouth.This recipe takes all day to make but the results are really worth it. To make it easier you can complete the recipe through step 26 on one day, and then make the actual rolls the next day. The recipe may seem complicated but it's really not. Most of the time the dough is either resting or rising. For this recipe you'll need a pastry brush and something that will allow you to evenly distribute flour over your work surface. A sifter or a shaker of some type is fine. Also, you must use real butter. It can be salted or unsalted (I use salted) but do not try to substitute margarine. The recipe will not work with margarine. You'll end up with a big mess in your oven if you use margarine. Also, in step #11 where it says to thoroughly flour your work surface, you need to resist the temptation to knead any more flour into the dough. The dough is SUPPOSE to be that wet. Note: If you wish to measure the flour by weight rather than by volume, 3 1/4 cups flour is approximately equal to 14.33 ounces or 406 grams.

Steps:
- Make the butter roll-in first.
- With a pastry blender or two knives (using two knives is actually easier) cut the flour and the 3 sticks of butter together until combined but do not let the butter become warm. The butter should never be allowed to become warm the entire to time you are working with this dough.
- Tear off a sheet of waxed paper and dump the butter on to it. Place another sheet of waxed paper on top.
- Beat the the butter between the two sheets of waxed paper with a rolling pin until it becomes malleable. Make sure it stays cold though.
- With a spatula, a knife or whatever, shape the mound of butter into an 7"x9" rectangle. It doesn't have to be perfect but try to get it into a rectangular shape as best you can.
- Set aside in a cool spot or place back in the refrigerator while you make the dough, but don't let the butter re-harden. You want the butter to be cold but still soft and pliable. If it's too hard it will break through the dough when you roll it out.
- For the dough combine the packages of yeast with the warm milk and let sit 5 minutes to soften.
- Mix in the salt, sugar, and eggs.
- Add the 3 1/4 cups flour all at once and stir until thoroughly combined. You should have a very soft and sticky dough.
- Chill dough in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- If the block of butter is in the refrigerator remove it when you place the dough in there to chill. You don't want the butter to re-harden and it's best if the dough and the butter are approximately the same temperature.
- Sprinkle your work surface generously, and I do mean generously, with flour. I use a shaker to evenly distribute the flour and completely cover the area I'm going to be rolling the dough out on. A simple dusting won't do. You need a good thick layer of flour, maybe as much as a 1/16 to an 1/8 of an inch thick. Don't worry about using too much flour because any excess will be brushed away with your pastry brush.
- Roll dough out into a 11"x16" rectangle.
- With a pastry brush brush all the excess flour off the top of the dough. Excess flour will interfere with layer formation.
- Place the block of butter on one side of the dough leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the dough over and pinch the seams together slightly to seal to encase the block of butter. If dough sticks to the table when you try to fold it then simply brush it with flour. Don't worry if the dough doesn't look too pretty at this point. It will get better.
- Turn the dough 1/4 turn so the part of the folded dough that opens up is on your right(like a book). Brush away the excess flour that's on top of the dough.
- Roll the folded dough into an 8"x20" rectangle. When you roll out the dough you want to make sure you use even strokes and roll from one end to the other. Avoid quick back and forth movements with the rolling pin and do not roll over the edge of your dough. This will destroy the layers you're trying to make. If the butter breaks through the dough simply sprinkle a little bit of flour over the spot.
- Brush away all excess flour off the top of the dough.
- Fold 1/3 of the dough over and brush off the excess flour and then fold the other 1/3 of the dough over that so the dough resembles a business letter.
- Roll out the dough again and fold it in thirds like a business letter just like you did before.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This completes the first two "turns". Each time you roll out the dough and fold it you are doing what's known as a turn. A turn gets its name because after you fold the dough you have to turn it a quarter turn when you go to roll it out again. Each time you roll out the dough you want to make sure that the part of the dough that opens up is always on the right (like the way a book opens). It can open on the left if you want but the important thing is to be consistent.
- Meanwhile, take your pastry brush and a sheet of paper and sweep up all the flour on your work surface so you can use it again. You'll find that very little of the flour you used to roll out the dough actually gets worked into the dough.
- After the dough has chilled, sprinkle your work surface with your recycled flour and place the dough on it.
- Roll out and fold the dough in thirds exactly as you did before. (turn #3).
- Chill dough for 1 more hour.
- Repeat this rolling and folding one more time (turn # 4). You should now have a dough with 162 flaky layers (2x3x3x3x3). You started with two layers of dough separated by a layer of butter. Each time you rolled the dough out and folded it in thirds you increased the number of layers by a factor of 3.
- Chill dough for at least 3 hours or overnight if preferred. At this point you have a basic Danish pastry dough.
- With a sharp serrated knife, cut the dough in half.
- Keep one half in the refrigerator while you work with the first half.
- Roll the half of dough into a 9"x16" rectangle.
- Sprinkle the top of the dough with the cinnamon topping which consists of 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 2 tablespoons flour, and 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans.
- Roll dough into a tight 16" long log.
- Cut dough into 16 pieces. The easiest way to do this is to cut the log in half and then cut those halves in half and so forth. If dough is too soft to slice wrap it up and refrigerate it for an hour or place it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place cinnamon rolls on ungreased baking sheets at least 3 inches apart so they have room to rise and expand.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Cover the trays of cinnamon rolls with towels and set aside to rise until the rolls are ALMOST doubled (about a 75% increase in size). Don't put them in a warm spot because you don't want the butter to melt. Rising time may take a few hours or more. After a couple hours the surface of the rolls may start to dry out, especially if the air is dry. If this happens, cover the tray of rolls with a damp paper towel and then put another towel on top of that.
- Brush rolls lightly with egg wash and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. Be sure to watch them carefully so they don't burn. If rolls are browning too fast on top lower the oven temperature about 15 degrees. If you have thin or dark colored baking sheets you may want to double-pan them so the bottoms of the cinnamon rolls don't get too dark.
- Drizzle powdered sugar icing over the rolls while they are still warm.
- To make icing simply combine powdered sugar with a teaspoon or two of vanilla and enough milk so you can drizzle it. I usually use about 3/4 to 1 pound of powdered sugar. As far as the amount of milk goes, I just kind of eyeball it.

SCANDINAVIAN CINNAMON ROLLS
These rolls have been a family favorite since I started baking them more than 35 years ago. They're so easy to do-especially for first-time yeast bakers-because they require no kneading.

SWEET ROLLS DIVINE (INTO CINNAMON ROLLS, OR DANISH
Finally found a great bread machine sweet roll dough! (Don't remember where I got the recipe, or if I changed it from the original, unfortunately.) I made the Danish-pull-aparts as a copy of something I saw. The cream cheese topping I used for that, is perfect on top of cinnamon rolls, too! The Danish pull-aparts are so easy,...

Steps:
- 1. Using Bread Machine, add all ingredients in order (or order suggested by your machine) and set on Dough Cycle. If you are one of those magical people that can do bread by hand, feel free to try it, but I can't help you there!
- 2. Grease 9" x 13", or slightly larger pan. When dough is finished, take out. For Cinnamon Rolls, roll into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface, and spread with butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, leaving one edge clear to seal together when you roll it up. Roll up, seal edge (bit of water on finger can help) then slice into cinnamon rolls. For Danish like pull-aparts, simply divide dough into 12-16 pieces. Place in the greased pan, cover, and let rise 20-30 min. in a warm place.
- 3. Mix together cream cheese topping with an electric mixer. Once rolls have risen (either cinnamon or regular), top with cream cheese topping. For Danish pull apart rolls, plop the cream cheese topping in blobs all about, and then do the same using your favorite jam (raspberry is particularly good.) Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- 4. Bake at 375 degrees F, for 15-20 minutes. I put an empty cookie sheet on the bottom oven rack to catch any drips from above. Note, if you do cinnamon rolls, they will have the "cream cheese frosting" already baked on (and it is tastier than frosting by most accounts!)
SWEET DINNER ROLLS

GRAMMA'S OLD-FASHIONED CINNAMON SWEET ROLLS
Light, flakey dough surrounds the brown sugar-cinnamon-butter filling (with optional raisins or nuts); two perfect pans of exquisite breakfast fare. Serve with some pork links, glass of juice or milk, and you've got a down-home breakfast. My German gramma made these EVERY time our family visited...and she cooked 'em in her wood-burning cook-stove, too. Our 4-H club makes these for a concession stand fund-raiser and we sell-out EVERY year! Don't be put-off by the LENGTHY set of directions---they're written for the uninitiated (non-bread-makers) among us. I really WANT you to have fun making these, so I told you EVERYTHING you'll EVER want to know in how-to-make sweet rolls.

Steps:
- In a liquid measuring cup, heat milk/water to "wrist-warm" (do NOT boil; just warm).
- Add yeast and 2 tablespoons of the sugar (you'll use the rest in the next step). Stir the yeast and sugar; let this "work" for about 5 or 10 minutes. You should have some bubbly, frothy stuff in the cup when you return. (If not--your yeast is no good, dump it out and get better yeast.).
- Pour yeast-milk into mixing bowl, and add remaining sugar, butter, eggs, salt and 1 cup of the flour. Using beater, mix this mess for about a minute.
- Switch to the paddle (flat beater) or a dough hook, and add remaining flour one cup-at-a-time. The dough will form a ball, and feel slightly sticky. You may not need the entire 5 1/2 cups (depends on humidity, too).
- Fill medium glass bowl with hottest tap water. If your oven can be adjusted to 100 degrees, set it to 100 degrees. Also, if your oven has a light, turn it on; place the hot water on the bottom of the oven. Close the door.
- Grease a large, glass bowl. Remove dough from mixing bowl to a floured table/counter-top; knead for 1 minute; form into a ball and place in greased bowl, turning to get grease on all sides. Cover bowl loosely with a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Turn off 100 degree oven, place bowl of dough into oven; close the door. Set the timer for 1 hour.
- Clean up the mess BUT leave floured counter-top AS IS.
- At the end of one hour the dough should've risen to about double the size. If not, let it go for another 15 minutes (set the timer--it's easy to forget---out of sight, out of mind!).
- Gather filling ingredients: 1/4 cup of melted butter; cinnamon; brown sugar; raisins and/or chopped nuts (optional).
- Punch down the down; remove from bowl; with a large butcher knife, cut dough into two equal parts. Set one aside (cover with plastic wrap).
- Grease two 13x9-inch pans with BUTTER (no substitutes are allowed -- this is GRAMMA's recipe). :-) humor me, okay?.
- On floured counter-top, lay dough and with a rolling pin, shape & roll into large rectangle, oh about 8 x 16 inches or a bit larger, keep thickness consistent throughout.
- Pour HALF of the melted butter over this, and spread with a pastry brush, right out to the edges. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon (like 1-2 tablespoons), then a handful of brown sugar, spreading it evenly with fingers; right to the edges!
- Sprinkle some raisins and chopped nuts -- if using. Keep these closer to the long side closest to you.
- HERE's THE HARD PART: Starting at the side closest to you, LOOSELY roll away from you. Loosely is the KEY word. Tuck in any runaway raisins or nuts.
- Use that big knife to divide the roll in half in the middle. Then cut each half into SIX equal portions, for a total of 12 rolls.
- Starting in the middle of the roll (nicest shaped rolls) and working to the sloppy outside roll piecs, set them along the outside edges of the buttered pan, spacing evenly in the pan. Put the two end rolls in the very center of the pan. Set the cut side DOWN (so the top looks flat-ish). Set this pan on the stove for now.
- Repeat with remaining dough; vary the ingredients -- if you skipped raisins or nuts, maybe add some to this pan of rolls.
- Check if the water in the oven is still warm, if not dump out and start with fresh hot water. Put plastic wrap on both pans (re-use the other piece), and pop in the warm oven. Set the timer for 45 minutes. Go do something productive---clean the counter-top before all that stuff gets hard! :-D.
- When the rolls have risen to the top of the pan (or a smidgen over), remove them from the oven, preheat oven to 350. When it's warm bake them for 20 minutes; tops will be golden brown.
- Cool on a rack; then frost with a cream cheese/butter cream frosting (slather it on thick like Gramma does for the grandkids!).
- You have JUST entered the Pearly Gates!
