Cinnamon Buns

Ingredients

Dough

• 1⅓ cups lukewarm water
• 1 tsp honey
• 3 cup whole wheat flour

Filling

• ½ cup smooth natural peanut butter
• ¼ cup honey
• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp water
• ⅔ cup raisins

Directions

1. Combine the water, honey, and yeast in a large bowl.
2. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
3. Add the flour 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. When the dough becomes to stiff to mix, turn it out onto a floured board and knead for 5 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Put it in a very lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise for 1 hour.
6. Beat in all the remaining ingredients except the raisins.
7. Remove the risen dough from the bowl and knead about ten times on a clean board.
8. Roll out into a large rectangle about 15" x 14".
9. Spread with filling to ½" of the edge.
10. Sprinkle raisins evenly over the filling.
11. Roll the rectangle into a log, starting at the 15-in side, pinch the edges to seal, and slice into 1" thick rounds.
12. Place on a nonstick baking sheet, cover, and allow to rise for about 20 minutes, or until light.
13. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
