Ingredients
1-1/2 packages (about 3-1/4 teaspoons) dry yeast1/4 cup warm water1/4 cup butter1/4 cup Z-Trim Fat Replacer1/3 cup sugar1-1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup skim milk1 egg3 cups white flour1 cup whole wheat flour--filling:1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce1/2 c. brown sugar, packed1/4 c. splenda brown sugar blend1/4 c. sugar1 tbsp. cinnamon--frosting:3/4 cup powdered sugar2 tbsp lowfat cream cheese1/4 cup Z-Trim Fat Replacement water as neededdash of dried orange zest
Put the warm water and the yeast in a small bowl or measuring cup and soak 10-15 minutes.
Heat milk in microwave for one minute; pour it over the butter and Z-Trim in a mixing bowl. Using mixer, add sugar and salt. Cool the mixture until it's room temperature. Add the dissolved yeast and beaten egg, and let sit for another 10-15 minutes. Stir, and then add both types of flour, one cup at a time. Up to 1 additional cup of flour may be needed. The dough should be soft yet firm enough to handle.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Avoid too much flour. Turn dough into a bowl sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray.well oiled bowl. Let rise for 1-1/2 hours.
Punch down dough and roll it into a rectangle, about 9x13. Cover with applesauce. Mix together brown sugar, splenda blend, white sugar and cinnamon (modify amounts to suit your taste) and sprinkle on the dough, covering the applesauce. Roll up jellyroll fashion.
Cut off slices about 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick. Place slices in an 8 or 9 inch round cake pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Place one slice in the middle and other slices around it. Press rolls down to even out and fill pan. Let rise until rolls fill the pan generously - about another hour.
This should make about 14-16 rolls, depending on how big your rectangle was.
Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 15 - 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
For the Frosting:
In a medium bowl, place sugar, cream cheese, Z-trim and vanilla. Add a dash of orange zest if desired. Then stir in enough water to create a spreadable paste. Spread over rolls as soon as they are cool enough to touch, but still warm, so that the frosting melt sand run into the rolls.
