Instructions: Later Notes:
Have the dough as soft as possible that you can roll it out on well floured board (not like a bread dough, really).

Works well to refrigerate overnight after putting into 8" sq. pan, covered with plastic wrap. Bake maybe 25 minutes, a bit longer.

alternative fillings: 1) use canned plum puree instead of FF cream cheese.

2) Just spread marmalade, sprinkle w/raisins and some brown sugar and fresh nutmeg. (glaze this one using orange juice and/or orange liqueur).

I got some Sourdough starter from the supermarket to experiment with sourdough breads. This is the best fatfree gooey sticky buns... (if you have a better recipe, send it to me please!) and pretty easy too. The hardest part is to get the liquid proportion right as the dough mixes.

I make mine in a 1lb panasonic. If you want proportions for other

Make the dough

Program for dough (takes 2.5 hours in mine). About 5 minutes into mixing, check & add some more water if needed (I need 1 - 2 TBSP water usually)

to make a fairly soft dough.

Make the filling:
mix together in a small bowl. I find the cream cheese works out better if not softened (filling gets too soft & oozes out).

At the end of the cycle, remove the dough from the machine. On a floured board, roll the dough into a 9 x 12 inch rectangle. Spread thinly with 1.5 TBSP applesauce or marmalade. Spread the above filling up to the edges.

Sprinkle with raisins if you like. Roll tightly starting from one of the 9 inch edges to form a roll. Cut the roll into 9 equal slices and place cut side doesn in a 9" square pan. (leave some room inbetween the rolls).

If a lot of the filling oozes out, I just spoon it back onto the rolls.

I use a glass pan & dont have a sticking problem. You might need to spray other pans.

Cover with plastic wrap & let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. I let them rise until the sides touch, they seem to turn out

moister. The original recipe said to bake them separated on a baking sheet,
but they seemed too dry that way.

Preheat the oven to 375 and bake in the center for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Make a thin glaze:
(Ive also made this w/conf. sugar & lemon juice or orange liquer)

Drizzle over the tops of the rolls while they are still warm.

These reheat well in the microwave, 20 seconds on medium for my oven.

NOTES : Optional flours: King Arthurs whole wheat white or whole wheat bread flour.
