: 
: I have escaped work this weekend and it is Valentine's Day, so to
celebrate,
: I greeted my favorite Valentine with some freshly baked cinnamon rolls. 
: 
: She enjoyed them.  I hope you do also.
: 
: Happy Valentine's Day.

: Valentine's Breakfast Cinnamon Rolls
: 
: 1 cup of warm water (105-110 degrees F)
: 1/8 cup sugar
: 2 - 3 cups flour
: 1 teaspoon of salt
: 1/8 cup of corn oil
: 3 Tablespoon of butter
: Brown sugar
: cinnamon
: 1/4 cup currants
: 
: Dissolve the sugar in the water.
: Dissolve the yeast in the water and let proof.
: Add corn oil.
: Blend salt into 1 cup of flour and stir into the water.
: Add remaining flour slowly (no more than 1/4 cup at a time), stirring in
: thoroughly until the dough forms a soft, sticky ball.  This may not use
all
: of the flour.
: Turn the dough out on a well-floured surface.
: Flour the top of the dough and your hands.  Knead gently.
: Work the dough until it stops being sticky to the touch.
: Be sure the surface is well-floured, then pat dough into a rectangle
(about
: 9 x 15).
: Melt butter over low heat. 
: Coat the top of the rectangle of dough by brushing on about half of the
: melted butter.
: Sprinkle the rectangle first with ground cinnamon, then with brown sugar
to
: taste.
: Sprinkle the currants on the half of the rectangle that will be in the
: center when rolled.
: Take one side of the rectangle and fold it about 1 inch toward the center.
: Keep turning the thickened edge toward the opposite side of the rectangle
: until the dough forms a roll.
: With a sharp knife, cut 1 inch thick slices from the roll and place them
on
: a greased baking sheet with some separation.
: Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes or until brown.
: Brush remaining butter on the cinnamon rolls after they are removed from
the
: oven.
: 
: Notes:
: 
: This recipe makes about a dozen 2 inch cinnamon rolls or 6 four inch
: cinnamon rolls.  The diameter of the cinnamon roll is determined by
whether
: the dough is rolled the width or length of the rectangle.
: 
: The dough is not very sweet.  If a sweeter dough is desired, try a 1/4 cup
: of sugar.
: 
: The dough can be made richer by replacing the corn oil with melted butter
: and/or adding an egg. 
: 
: I used about 2 Tablespoons of cinnamon and 1/4 cup of brown sugar.
: 
: These cinnamon rolls were made for my wife, who does not like the
sweetness
: of most commercial cinnamon rolls.  The emphasis is on the cinnamon
(which I
: may increase the next time I make these).  I may also add a little nutmeg
to
: the mix for added bite.
: 
: If a sweeter roll in desired, increase the amount of brown sugar and use a
: confectioner's sugar and water glaze.
: 
: I did not give these any time to rise, depending on the softness of the
: dough to let the yeast rise during the first part of the baking.
