It's How I Roll

Last night was so inspired by my favorite British baking shows decided to churn out some cinnamon rolls. 

Followed a Pinterest recipe for "fast and easy" rolls. Even sifted my flour, which meant shaking it through a small colander to the point of carpal tunnel as I own no sifter.  But damn that flour was light!

Heated up butter, milk and water to add to the flour. Mixture needed to be 115 degrees. Decided to play it safe and use a thermometer to make sure it wasn't overheated. Turned out to be 143 degrees! Spent 10 minutes stirring and testing the liquid waiting for it to hit the 115 spot.

My Kitchen Aid mixture made the process a piece of cake! Slipped in the dough hook, added liquid, let it run, and voila! Perfect bread dough!

Rolled the dough, covered it with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cherry pie filling, and sliced it into sections. Let the rolls proof for an hour, popped in oven for 25 minutes, and there you have it. Perfectly risen, gooey, sweet rolls of yummy bread goodness! Paul Hollywood would have been so proud!


Up next may be Mom's Cardamom bread for the holidays!
