    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3               cups  all-purpose flour -- (13 1/2 oz)
    1                cup  whole-wheat flour -- (4 3/4 oz)
    1           teaspoon  salt
    2 1/4      teaspoons  quick-rise yeast -- (1 pkg)
    1                cup  nonfat milk -- 120F to 130F, very warm
       1/4           cup  orange juice -- 120F to 130F, very warm
       1/4           cup  honey
    2        tablespoons  butter -- melted
                          Cooking spray
       1/2           cup  granulated sugar
       1/2           cup  packed brown sugar
    2          teaspoons  ground cinnamon
    4 1/2    tablespoons  nonfat milk -- divided
    2        tablespoons  butter -- melted
       1/2           cup  powdered sugar
    1           teaspoon  1/3-less-fat cream cheese
    1           teaspoon  vanilla extract

1. Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with 
a knife. Combine flours, salt, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer 
with dough hook attached; mix until combined. With mixer on, slowly 
add 1 cup milk, juice, honey, and 2 tablespoons butter; mix dough at 
medium speed 7 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a 
large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and 
let rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts, 1 hour or until 
doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation 
remains, the dough has risen enough.

2. Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a shallow 
dish. Combine 3 tablespoons milk and 2 tablespoons butter in a 
shallow dish, stirring with a whisk.

3. Punch dough down; divide into 8 equal portions. Working with one 
portion at a time (cover remaining dough to prevent drying), roll 
into an 8" rope. Cut each dough rope into 8 equal pieces, shaping 
each piece into a 1" ball. Dip each ball in milk mixture, turning to 
coat, and roll in sugar mixture. Layer balls in a 12-cup Bundt pan 
coated with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining 7 dough 
ropes. Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over dough. Cover and let 
rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts, 1 hour or until almost 
doubled in size.

4. Preheat oven to 350F.

5. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes or until golden. Cool 5 minutes on a 
wire rack. Place a plate upside down on top of bread; invert onto 
plate. Combine powdered sugar, remaining milk, and remaining 
ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Microwave at HIGH 
20 seconds or until warm. Drizzle over bread.
