DOUGH
Step 1
Mix milk, vegetable oil, Swerve Granular, and 2 TBS sugar in a pot or dutch oven. Scald the mixture- stirring occasionally (you want to heat it just before boiling). Turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for 30-45 minutes until lukewarm, around 100 degrees.
Step 2
Sprinkle yeast in lukewarm mixture (it can’t be hot or the yeast will clump). Let it sit for a minute, to give the yeast time to react with the mixture, and then add 2 cups of flour and stir mixture together. Cover and let sit for at least an hour.
Step 3
After an hour the dough should rise, mix in remaining 1/2 cup of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cover dough and refrigerate for a few hours or make cinnamon rolls immediately. You can also let dough sit overnight and make rolls in the morning.
Step 4
Sprinkle counter top generously with flour. Shape dough into a rectangle, and then roll the dough thin, maintaining a general rectangle shape. It may be 2 feet long and 1 feet wide.
Step 5
Evenly spread butter over dough, then sprinkle Brown Swerve over butter, then evenly sprinkle cinnamon.
Step 6
Take the dough from the long side of the rectangle and begin to tightly roll it towards you. The butter/cinnamon/Swerve mix will ooze at you and get messy. Once a tube like roll is formed, pinch the seam so the roll stays together.
Step 7
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter into a round cake pan. Cut cinnamon rolls into 12 one inch thick rolls. Place them in pan and bake at 400 degrees for 17-20 minutes.
Step 8
Take rolls out of oven once slightly golden brown on top, and place glaze on top of hot rolls.
CREAM CHEESE GLAZE
Step 1
Mix ingredients in stand mixer or with hand held mixer.
Step 2
Place glaze dollops over hot cinnamon rolls. Let icing melt or use a spatula after a few minutes and spread icing across cinnamon rolls. If you want your glaze a little runnier, you can mix in water or milk.
Note: Don’t overcook the cinnamon rolls if you like an ooey-gooey center!
Makes 12 cinnamon rolls.
