By friends I mean cinnamon rolls. :) The recipe for these wonderful rolls tells you to divide the dough into thirds. With the first two I made cresent shaped rolls, and with the last third I made cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning.
Now I've never had much luck with bread making..unless it's actually in my bread maker and it's just a dump the ingredients and close the lid deal. So when I decided to make rolls for Christmas Eve dinner...I was nervous. But I'd been eyeing these babies on a blog I stalk (My Kitchen Cafe .. trust me..you'll become addicted too) and she makes it look so easy.
Bread lesson that is important to learn. BE PATIENT. Not my forte. I was seriously peeking under the towel to see if the dough had risen about ever 15 minutes. I even updated my facebook status to "praying the dough will rise".
It did rise...and the rolls turned out wonderfully.
As did the cinnamon rolls the next morning!
Since I did these directly from her blog and didn't make any changes, I'm just linking you to her for the Lion House Rolls recipe.
*the cinnamon rolls I actually let sit out in the warm house overnight and they puffed up beautifully, and had great texture!
*the dinner rolls were great, but I think next time I'll REALLY try to be patient and let them rise a little more.
