DOUGH
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 packages Fleischmann's® Rapid Rise Yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
2 cups whole wheat flour
FILLING
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
2/3 cup chopped dates or pitted dates, snipped
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
FROSTING
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk (1 to 2 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Servings: 18
1. In large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (125ºF to 130ºF). Butter does not need to melt. Stir into dry ingredients. Stir in eggs, whole wheat flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make soft dough.
2. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.
3. Divide dough in half. Roll each to 12- × 9-inch rectangle. Brush each with melted butter; evenly sprinkle with dates, walnuts, sugar and cinnamon. Roll up tightly from short ends as for jelly roll; pinch seams to seal. Cut each into 9 (1-inch) slices. Place rolls, cut-sides up, in 2 greased 9-inch round cake pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
4. Bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks. Drizzle with Frosting.
