Copycat Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnabon Clone
If you love Cinnabon cinnamon rolls...then whip out your stand mixer and make you some of these...they take some time but they are SO worth it!
These can be made ahead of time so you don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn to feed the family these scrumptious treats. Immediately after placing them in the prepared pans, cover with greased foil and freeze. The night before you want to serve them, put them out on the kitchen counter before going to bed. The final rising will take place overnight and they will be ready to bake in the morning.

Everything Bread
If you like Everything Bagels...then whip out your stand mixer and give this a try!
Ingredients
3-½ cups All Purpose Or Bread Flour
1-½ teaspoon Salt
2-¼ teaspoons Yeast
1-¼ cup Hot (110-120 Degrees F) Water
2 Tablespoons Dehydrated Minced Onions
1-½ Tablespoon Dehydrated Minced Garlic
1-½ teaspoon Poppy Seeds
1-½ teaspoon Sesame Seeds
1 whole Egg White, Beaten
Directions
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F, then turn the heat off.
Add flour, salt, yeast, and water into mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix on medium (4-5 speed) for 6-8 minutes, or until dough forms a cohesive, elastic ball. Turn off mixer and let dough rest for 15 minutes, then add 1 1/2 Tablespoons of minced onion, 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon poppy seeds, and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds. Knead on medium-low (3-4) for an additional 10 minutes. Put the bread in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place the bowl in the warm oven. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, or approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Gently punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured board. Shape the dough into a tightly rolled loaf on a baking sheet (I use a silpat on the sheet to make sure the dough won’t stick at all), spray very lightly with cooking spray or olive oil, and cover with plastic wrap. Slide back into the oven to rise again, 45 minutes to an hour.
Remove dough from oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake 30 minutes at 400 degrees, then pull it from the oven and brush with beaten egg white. Sprinkle with remaining minced onion, garlic, poppy and sesame seeds. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until bread is golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack.
