speed, using dough hook for 4 minutes. Add ginger, oil, salt,
cinnamon, sweetener, and 1-1/2 c flour to batter and mix at low
speed, using dough hook, for another 4 minutes. Use as much of the
remaining flour as necessary to make a smooth resilient dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and place in a bowl that has been well
greased with margarine. Turn the ball over to coat the top with
margarine. Cover with a cloth and set in a warm place until doubled
in volume.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured working surface and knead
lightly. Form into a ball an return to greased bowl, turning the
top again to cover it with margarine. Cover with a cloth and set in
a warm place until doubled in volume.
Use 1-1/2 ts margarine to grease the sides and bttom of a 9x13"
cake pan. Set aside for later use.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured working surface. Knead lightly
and form into a ball. Cover with a cloth and let rest 10 minutes.
Roll dough out to form a 9x16" rectangle. Spread the softened 1-1/2
tb of margarine evenly over the dough. Sprinkle evenly with the
brown sugar substitute and cinnamon mixture. Roll into a long roll
like a jelly roll and cut into 24 equal slices. Place the slices,
cut side down, in the cake pan, spacing them evenly. Cover with a
cloth and let rise until double in volume.
Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Turn
rolls out of the pan onto a wire rack and serve warm, if possible.
