Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons + 3 teaspoons sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon quick-rise yeast
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon
Topping
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
This is where I deviate from most recipes. With there being a time factor in my house, I use my bread machine to do all the mixing and the first rising. So...
- In the bottom of your bread pan, combine water, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons sugar, and yeast. Top with flour, oats, and salt. Set your bread machine for dough and press 'Start'.
- Allow the dough to go through the first rise and deflate cycle (roughly 30 minutes). Then empty dough out onto a heavily floured surface, knead.
- Roll out the dough into a 10"x20" rectangle. Rub with 1 tablespoon coconut oil; sprinkle liberally with the cinnamon and sugar. Roll the dough up jelly roll style and pinch seams closed.
- Take a sharp knife and cut the roll in half starting about 1" from an end and going all the way through to the other end (Yes, I know I need pictures of this process but I didn't have time to take them this morning). I did something similar to the process pictured here but the instructions are in Italian so I just made up my own recipe, etc. and used the pictures for examples. (even less if you are using quick-rise yeast).
- Twist the two pieces together like in the the above mentioned blog post. Then shape into a circle, rectangle, square, heart, etc. on a greased cookie sheet.
- (If using regular yeast, you'll need to allow for rising at this point.) Place into a cold oven and then turn the temp up to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until slightly browned.
- While "rolls" are in the baking, cream together all of the topping ingredients and place in a ziptop baggie. Cut one of the bottom corners to make your own "piping" bag.
- Remove from oven, drizzle with topping, and allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Slice and enjoy!
Here are some pictures that I took of the process. I promise to add more the next time I make this recipe. :o)
