WW sweet rolls ideas?
I want to make some beautiful sweet rolls as neighbor gifts this christmas, but I am afraid that people won't like them because they're whole wheat. I don't bake with white, and I feel like you can't separate fluffy white bread from cinnamon rolls in most people's minds. Is there a combination that you think would naturally compliment the flavor of whole wheat, like pear or orange rolls? I'm just looking for some good ideas.

JMonkey is one TFL member that thinks whole wheat and sweet rolls, or cinnamon rolls in this case, go perfectly together. You should take a look at JMonkey's recipe here. There are other options available too. Just type "whole wheat sweet cinnamon" into the search box at the upper end of the left-hand border on your screen, and click on the [Search] button and you will find more.

You might try a recipe for whole wheat potato bread with some kind of sweetener added. That always produces a lovely, moist crumb.

I make very light, fluffy 100% WW sweet roll by using the bread recipe from the Everyday Homemaking site. I use home ground white whole wheat, add an egg, (when making sweet rolls), and use 2 Tbl. of homemade dough enhancer instead of the 1 Tbl. of dough enhancer and 1 Tbl. of liquid lecithin.
Dough Enhancer - 1 cup lecithin granules, 1 tbl. ground vitamin c, 1 tbl. ginger
