Cinnamon Buns -  Yield: 12 servings

DOUGH
1 1/3 c Lukewarm water 3 c Whole wheat flour
1 ts Honey

--FILLING-
1/2 c Smooth natural peanut butter 2 tb Cinnamon
1/4 c Honey 2 tb Water
1/2 c Unsweetened applesauce 2/3 c Raisins

Combine the water, honey, and yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 5
minutes until foamy. Add the flour 1 cup at a time, beating well
after each addition. When the dough becomes to stiff to mix, turn it
out onto a floured board and knead for 5 to 10 minutes until smooth
and elastic. Put it in a very lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to
rise for 1 hour. (If a very light dough is desired, you may punch it
down, cover, and allow to rise another 40 to 45 minutes)

While the dough is rising, combine the peanut butter and honey in a
saucepan and mix over low heat until easily blended (or warm in
microwave until easily blended). Beat in all the remaining
ingredients except the raisins.
