Cinnamon Buns

Another baking post, and this one an unmitigated success!

I wanted cinnamon rolls, and after looking around decided to try this recipe, but with the quantities adjusted to make 6 rolls.

I basically just threw everything in the bread machine, then rolled out the dough, brushed on melted butter and sprinkled on the sugar mix, rolled it up, cut out 6 rolls and let them rise in a greased cake pan, covered by a warm wet towel for 45min.  Then I baked for 25min at 350F, with a little water spritz.  They were VERY fluffy, not to sweet, and quite yumm.

The only real complication was that they weren't done until 1pm, so next time I would refrigerate them after the rise step and see if that works for fresh morning buns.

This blog is kinda boring when things go well.
