  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 4 to 4 1/2 cups freshly milled hard white wheat

  • Add remaining flour until the dough pulls from the sides of the mixing bowl.
  • Knead for 10 minutes.
  • Place in a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle shape about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
  • Spread with butter, sprinkle with the sugar and then the zest.
  • Roll up from the long side and pinch the seams.
  • Cut the roll into rolls about 3 inches in size with a dough scraper or sharp knife.
  • Place on prepared baking sheet, cover, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Allow rolls to cool and ice them with the cream cheese icing.
