Cinnamon Rolls

Homemade cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning!

This is the first time I've attempted cinnamon rolls. I made the rolls the day before and placed in the fridge overnight. The sweet dough came together easily but took a full 2 hours to rise - even in the same room as the woodstove.

The dough rolled out easily but because I read the directions incorrectly I ended up with a longer roll than called for. This meant I had 3 extra rolls.

I warmed my oven to 200 degrees, turned it off, and put the rolls in there to rise in the morning after I took them out of the fridge. They were good to go in about an hour.

Although the recipe calls for a 30 minute cooking time, mine were done in about 20 minutes. Oh my! Warm, gooey, cinnamony rolls for Christmas breakfast.

I used this icing to top them off : http://www.food.com/recipe/cinnamon-bun-icing-19239
