Or – SIN-namon as the case may be. The cinnamon raisin bread looks incredible. Love that you took step-by-step pics, too. Very handy for novice bread makers out there.

It is a pretty elastic dough in general but it can usually be beaten into submission. Perhaps you had an extra ambitious batch of yeast. Thicker rolls aren’t a bad thing though – just lather on the butter, cinnamon and sugar to make sure there’s plenty of gooey delight to go around all that dough. So glad you tried them and thanks for letting me know how they turned out! :)

For some reason, I had some trouble rolling out the dough flat enough before making the “jelly roll,” and ended up with thicker (but fewer) buns. The dough had doubled in volume but it was quite springy when rolled even though I had let it rest for a few minutes first. They still tasted great though.

I brought 2 batches of cinnamon buns to work and they were gone in an instant! Thanks for sharing the recipe; it’s definitely a keeper. (Actually some people asked if I would make them again the next day, haha) :D

The short answer is that I plan ahead and that bread baking isn’t all that time consuming once you get the hang of it. The long answer (which I think I really will talk about in a future post so thanks for the inspiration) has a lot to do with a philosophical-nearing-spirital commitment to create a “space” in my life for baking, which is an activity I love because it is creative and I get to work with my hands to produce something that’s nourishing to my physical body too. In other words, please make these cinnamon rolls this weekend, being sure to clear a mental space to enjoy the process instead of just rushing through it to get to the next “to do” item. That might be the best way to find the answer to your question. :) Happy baking!!

I’m very pleased to have created some childish happiness in your day!! :) Glad my pointers were helpful! As for today’s post, it’s worth the try, considering the incredible success rate you’re having with bread these days. Put some nutella in there and it’ll help satisfy the chocolate criteria. ;)

As always, I’m so glad somebody (you!) gets my twisted sense of humor…thank you for indulging me! :)
