App-Generated Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Hello,

I made a Whole Wheat alternative to the traditional cinnamon roll. Since I like creativity, I tried a recipe generated from http://www.sugardrone.com. which is my site. The set of lower numbers in parentheses is the scaled down version I actually baked. The scaled down version actually took a little longer to rise because I used a scant measure of wet foamy yeast as opposed to sugary water.
