cinnamon – Food With Cece

Cravings have really been taking over, impairing our decision to eat healthy this year and cinnamon rolls were no exception! We live fairly close to the mall and we’ve already made at least a trip to Cinnabon in the last month. We think about going again but we decide against it because we’re responsible adults.. and would drive even further for Coldstone (smh).

Anyway, since I was on a roll last weekend, I wanted to make something special for my husband when he woke up and decided to make cinnamon rolls! I used this recipe. It was wonderful! I did use yeast that was probably a couple months too old and it took a while for the dough to rise but it did eventually rise.

dough- before

dough- after

I didn’t think it would rise for the second proof but it did and all other steps after that was a breeze. I mixed the frosting by hand instead of a mixer as suggested in the recipe and that was difficult. It was also a cold day so use a mixer to help you out and soften everything out a bit.
