Easy Cinnamon Rolls

for the Holidays

Cookbook author, professional baker and Red Star Yeast enthusiast, Gesine Bullock-Prado

From cinnamon rolls to decadent desserts, baked goods have been at the heart of every holiday for generations. Of course, creating bakery-quality breads, pastries and holiday treats that look as delicious as they taste can be an intimidating task for home bakers.

However, thanks to cookbook author and professional baker Gesine Bullock-Prado and premium ingredients, such as Red Star® Platinum Superior Baking Yeast®, it’s now easier than ever to create baked goods that are light, airy and look like they were purchased from a boutique bakery.

Gesine recommends the following tips to achieve bakery-quality results: • Use the best quality ingredients you can find. Fresh yeast, baking powder or baking soda will give a tender, airy texture to your baked goods. Cakes and breads made with ingredients that are too old fall flat. Great flavorings, butter and eggs are also essential.

• A premium yeast with dough enhancers, like Red Star Platinum Yeast, builds dough strength and tolerance. Using this type of product, which was previously unavailable to home bakers, means dough will be very forgiving should there be any variance in flour quality, kneading or rising time. The end result is increased “oven spring” and finished volume.

Expect everyone to flock to your kitchen once the enticing smell of baked goods begins to fill your home. Your guests won’t be disappointed; Red Star guarantees it. For this recipe and more, visit www.redstaryeast.com.

Easy Cinnamon Rolls Dough 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 package Red Star® Platinum Superior Baking Yeast®, 1/4 oz.

1/2 cup water 1/4 cup milk 2 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large egg

Filling 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 1 1/2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon 1/4 cup granulated sugar Glaze 1 cup powdered (confectioners’) sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 Tablespoons milk/cream

Directions: Make the dough: Set aside 1/2 cup of flour. In a large bowl, toss 2 and 1/4 cups flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast together until evenly dispersed. Set aside.

Heat the water, milk, and butter together in the microwave until the mixture is very warm, but not too hot to touch, about 125-130°F. Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture. Add the egg and only enough of the reserved flour to make a soft dough. Dough will be ready when it gently pulls away from the side of the bowl and has an elastic consistency.

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes. Place in a lightly greased bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.

Make the filling: After 10 minutes, roll the dough out in a 14x8 inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter on top. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it over the dough. Roll up the dough tightly. Cut into 11 even pieces and place in a lightly greased 9-inch round pan or pie dish. Loosely cover the rolls with aluminum foil and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 60-90 minutes.

After the rolls have doubled in size, preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. Cover the rolls with aluminum foil after 15 minutes to avoid heavy browning, if you prefer.

Make the glaze. Top the cinnamon rolls with glaze right before serving.

Recipe makes 11 rolls.

Entertain this Holiday Season

with

Holidays are a time for family, friends and delicious food. This year, delight your guests with an array of easy and tasty dips. Spicy Spinach & Artichoke Dip is always a crowd pleaser, combining three cheeses with vegetables and Tabasco Original Red Sauce for added flavor. Requiring minimal prep time, this recipe is a perfect appetizer for any party.

Delicious Dips

Dip Tips!

Here are a few tips and tricks to use when preparing any dip recipe: • Make quick dips, like plain hummus or Greek yogurt with curry powder, and add a little spice with Tabasco Sauce.

• Prepare some dips a day or so in advance to save time on party day. Bean- and vegetable-based dips keep best overnight.

• For a healthier option, dip with veggies instead of chips. In addition to your favorite stand-bys, try sliced peppers, radishes or fruit, such as apples or melon.

For more recipes and tips, visit www.tabasco.com.

Healthy Holiday Menu Makeovers The holidays are the best time to share delicious meals with family and friends. However, overindulging in rich entrĂŠes and sweet treats can quickly sabotage healthy eating habits. Offer guests the best of both worlds by serving an array of healthy, tasty options at your next holiday gathering.

Simple Ingredient Swaps Add nutritional value to festive recipes by using healthier versions of traditional ingredients. For stuffing, casseroles and toasted sandwiches, replace white bread with whole grain bread, such as Roman Meal. Cooking with whole grains adds taste, texture and fiber to your favorite dishes. Enter the Roman Meal Healthy Holiday Sweepstakes and you could win $1,000 or free loaves of bread. Visit www.facebook.com/RomanMeal for details and official rules.

Sensible Pre-meal Snacks Appetizers and salads are a great way to curb overeating. Guests who nibble on fresh, light fare are less likely to stuff themselves with fat and calorie-laden dishes at mealtime.

This recipe for Butternut Squash Whole Grain Crostini offers a full spectrum of fall flavors. Enjoy sweet maple syrup, earthy butternut squash and sharp feta on top of toasted bites of Roman Meal bread. Or, serve Fall Harvest Fruit Salad with Whole Grain Croutons right before a meal. Your guests will love the combination of spicy cinnamon, sweet pears and apples.

Butternut Squash Whole Grain Crostini Prep Time: 10 Minutes Ready In: 10 Minutes Servings: 32

8 slices Roman Meal bread, toasted or grilled 2 cups butternut squash, broiled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled 2 tablespoons maple syrup 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves 32 fresh basil leaves Cut each piece of toast into quarters for a total of 32 pieces.

Combine squash, cheese, maple syrup and thyme in medium bowl.

Top toast quarters with about 1 tablespoon squash mixture each. Top with fresh basil leaves.

Entertaining Tips

for a

Casual Holiday Party It’sthemostwonderful,andhectic,timeofyear.Everyonelovestogettogether with family and friends during the holidays. Want to make your holiday gathering both beautiful and memorable without all the fuss? Gather things you already have around the house to create a festive tablescape.

Here are a few tips to get you started: · Keep things simple with white dinnerware, like Mikasa American Countryside, and dress up the table with festive touches of color and texture. · Add to the fun holiday atmosphere with bright red chargers under the white dinnerware. If you don’t have chargers, tuck one end of a red linen napkin under each plate and drape the other end over the edge of the table. · Place Mikasa’s French Countryside flatware on top of a folded napkin, tie them up like a package with red ribbon, and tuck in a sprig of holly or other greenery. · There’s no need to buy an expensive table runner. Find beautiful fabric at your local craft store, drape it down the center of the table, and you’re all set. · Add an extra splash of color to the holiday table by dropping a few raspberries into wine glasses filled with sparkling wine or club soda. Always keep frozen berries in the freezer during the holiday season. They are a pretty garnish for desserts and make even the simplest cocktails look more festive. · Scatter candles and pinecones down the center of the table and pop some colorful flowers into a white vase or pitcher. The look is perfect for a casual gathering of friends and family. For more holiday decorating and entertaining ideas, visit www.mikasa.com.

A beautiful holiday table lets your guests know they are in for an evening of fun and good food as soon as they arrive. End the evening with a showstopping dessert like Vanilla-Orange Cheesecake with Cranberry Swirl & Gingersnap Crust. The gingersnap crust and easy cranberry swirl add a festive touch to this crowd-pleasing confection.

Vanilla-Orange Cheesecake with Cranberry Swirl & Gingersnap Crust Makes one 9-inch cheesecake 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup orange juice 1/2 cup water 24-32 purchased gingersnap cookies (to make 1 cup crumbs) 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs 4 tablespoons butter, melted 3 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, room temperature 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon orange juice

heavy cream, vanilla and 1 tablespoon orange juice, then pour into prepared pan. Drizzle top of cheesecake with 1/4 cup of prepared cranberry sauce, then drag skewer, toothpick or knife tip through sauce to create marbled swirl pattern on top. Place cheesecake on baking sheet and bake until edges are set and puffed but center is slightly jiggly, about 45 minutes. Do not overbake. Turn oven off, crack door open slightly, and allow cheesecake to cool inside for 1 hour.
