Ingredients:
2 c. whole wheat flour
2/3 c. nonfat dry milk powder
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
2 tsp. salt
2 1/4 c. hot water (120-130 degrees)
1 c. peanut butter
3 1/2-4 c. bread flour
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
FROSTING:
4 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. peanut butter
6-7 Tbsp. milk

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, dry milk powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, yeast, and salt. Add hot water and 1/2 cup of the peanut butter. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Add 1 cup of the bread flour. Beat on low to medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining bread flour as you can.

Punch dough down.  Turn out onto a floured surface.  Divide in half.  Cover; let rest for 10 minutes.  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead in enough of the remaining bread flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3-5 minutes total).  Shape dough into a ball.  Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of the dough.  Cover; let rise in a warm place until double in size (about 30 minutes).

Meanwhile, lightly grease two 9x9 square baking pans; set aside.

For filling, in a small bowl, combine 1/2 c. sugar and cinnamon.

Roll each dough half into a 14x6 inch rectangle.  Spread each rectangle with 1/4 c. of the remaining peanut butter to within 1/2 inch of the edges.  Sprinkle each with sugar-cinnamon mixture.  Roll up each rectangle starting from a long side.  Seal seams.  Slice each roll into 9 pieces.  Arrange, cut sides down, in prepared pans.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (about 30 minutes).

Preheat oven to 370 degrees.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove from oven.  Cool for 1 minute.  Carefully invert rolls onto a wire rack.  Cool slightly.  Invert again onto a serving platter.  Spread with peanut butter frosting. 

For frosting: In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar and peanut butter. Stir in enough milk to reach spreading consistency.
