Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients:
DOUGH
2 1/2 cups all-purpose
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 package rapid rise yeast
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup very warm water
1 6-ounce jar pear baby food
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3 egg whites
Note: applesauce can be substituted for the baby pear food

FILLING
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins

ICING
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
3 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:
To Make Dough: In large bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, undissolved yeast, dry milk and salt. Stir in water, baby food and whole wheat flour. Stir in egg whites and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

To Shape and Fill: Roll dough to 18 � 12-inch rectangle. Brush with honey to within 1/2 inch of edges; sprinkle evenly with brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins. Beginning at long end, roll up tightly; pinch seam to seal. With sharp knife, cut into 12 equal pieces. Place, cut sides up, in greased 13 � 9-inch baking pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.

To Make Icing: In small bowl, combine all ingredients; stir until smooth. Drizzle over rolls.
