Cinnamon-a-licious

IMG_0673

Yes, I made these big beauties. I have been wanting cinnamon rolls for MONTHS now, and I finally got up my courage to make them this week. Can you believe that I make bread 2-3 times a week, but I’ve never ever made cinnamon rolls before? So, I called my Mom for inspiration. Good news: they were easier to make than I thought they would be!

Proof of yumminess. Sadly, these cinnamon rolls weren’t perfect. They weren’t gooey enough for me. So, I coated them in a heavenly glaze, and it helped with the dryness. We shared the love with a few family members, because sadly, 2 1/2 people can’t eat 20 cinnamon rolls before they get stale. Even if they were slightly dry, who can resist a warm bread-y sweet treat?

…not Rose! (indirectly, of course)…

…definitely not Jay!

Jay wasn’t satisfied with the few bites we gave him of our cinnamon rolls. So, he took matters into his own hands: when I left the room,  he climbed up on his box and gouged himself out a treat. I’m just glad that the pan had cooled off by then! I couldn’t bring myself to scold him for his resourcefulness!  (even if he didn’t eat his dinner that night…)

Mmmmmm you may persuade me to try a batch. I'm always put off by the extra effort that goes into the yeasty-kneady-doughy stuff, but I guess the more you do it (like 2-3 times a week!) the more effortless it becomes!

my mom has the best recipe for cinnamon rolls ever. i should send it to you and you can enjoy it for me since i can't eat gluten anymore. i'm pretty sure you're 99% guaranteed to get gooey yumminess out of the recipe.
