That's normal.

Mix in the sugar, pastry flour & egg whites; stirring for 100 strokes.
-
6
Let rise for 30 minutes.
-
7
Mix in the salt & remaining flour.
-

Stir until well mixed.

(The dough will start pulling away from the sides of the bowl.)

With a little additional flour sprinkled on the dough, knead for 5 minutes.
-

Let rise for 40 minutes.
-

It doesn't work!)

WICKED CINNAMON ROLLS: Preheat oven to 375F (190C).

16
Make the Ultralight Pastry Dough through the second rise.
-
17
Sprinkle flour onto a work surface.
-
18
Place the dough on top.
-
19
Sprinkle enough flour on the dough to keep it from sticking to your rolling pin.
-
20
Roll the dough flat, into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
-
21
Let rest while thoroughly mixing the brown sugar & cinnamon.
-
22
Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the pastry dough leaving a 1 inch edge along the long side away from you.
-
23
Gently roll dough into a log from the long side near you, to the long side with no sugar mixture.
-
24
Slice into sections 2 inches thick.
-
25
Place on a non-stick rimmed cookie sheet.
-

(The more brown sugar you use the more it oozes out the bottom of the rolls.)

Brush the rolls with the milk mixture.
-
29
Let rise in a warm draft free place for 20 minutes.

Ice heavily.

You can also freeze the rolls before baking.

They can then be baked straight from the freezer.
