Cinnamon Buns


Dough:
1 cup warm milk
2 eggs, room temperature, beaten
1/3 cup margarine, softened
2 1/2 cups white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 tsps yeast

Frosting:
125g cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt

Place dough ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.

After the dough cycle, turn out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup brown sugar with 2 1/2 tbsps cinnamon.

Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup softened margarine and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, margarine, icing sugar, vanilla and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
