Cinnamon rolls are tricky!

So, whenever I search for Recipes on the internet I come across blogs, blogs of what people thought of the recipe, blogs for made up recipes, etc. It has inspired me. I very much like cooking and I feel like sharing.

I made cinnamon rolls today...

Well to start you are supposed to read the recipe through to make sure you have all the ingredients BEFORE you start... I neglected that part.

So, I have this recipe for cinnamon rolls, and I start making them, it calls for 4 cups of flour, I had like 3 1/2... So, less floury, more sticky dough. Also, you are supposed to let the dough rise for AN HOUR! I didn't read that part at first and I thought you could just go from dough to baking... nope. Well, it also turns out it needed 4 packages of yeast... 4! I used 2. Now I know why it called for 4, they didn't rise as much as I would have liked.

Anyway, while I was slicing the dough tube into chunks it was more turning into cinnamon globs. THEN I remembered that people use floss to cut cheese and I though, hmm... So I went and got some floss, it worked WONDERFULLY! Yay! cinnamon rolls! Actual rolls not globs... awesome!

Also, now I know why you are supposed to put the rolls close together, because when they have a lot of room between them, they expand O U T instead of up. So, they are kind of flat cinnamon rolls.

This recipe only calls for 2 1/2 tablespoons of cinnamon but 4 cups of sugar total. They should be called sugar rolls! Cause that is most definately what they are.

All this to say, lots of work, 3 hours of work to be precise, but well worth it. They are very yummy! Even flat and even globby.

Oh, and the recipe is enough to feed an army for breakfast! 24 rolls. That's a lot of cinnamon rolls! Anyway, summing up, have enough of the ingredients, floss works great to cut things and be hungry.

Here's the recipe:
