So, I had VERY high hopes for this recipe because melskitchencafe.com deemed it the best version out of 10, and I trust her. However, my family voted the cookingclassy.com version from last week better. Also, I don’t think my changes would have impacted this enough overall. I like the last dough with eggs and buttermilk. It was a beautiful dough. These were good, but not amazing. However, I would never be ashamed to take these somewhere. I think the rolls themselves actually looked better than the others, and the rolls were better than the frosting, so if I ever made them again, I would use a different frosting. Cinnamon Rolls Sponge: · 1/2 cup (3.75 ounces) granulated sugar I cut this in half · 1/2 cup neutral-flavored oil · 2 cups milk, scalded (heat to just below a boil), I use 2% milk · 4 cups (20 ounces) all-purpose flour (I use unbleached) · 1 tablespoon instant yeast (see note for active dry yeast) Dough: · 3/4 cup (3.75 ounces) all-purpose flour · 1/2 teaspoon b...

Ok, so this recipe came from cookingclassy.com and I think it’s our favorite so far. I think it needed a tad bit more butter in the filling, but I like that you roll it short end so that they have lots of swirls and then you cut them super thick (1 1/2 inches) with a serrated knife so they are tall. We added pecans to some of ours, super good.

So, this had potential, but I ruined it by putting in too much curry and making it too spicy. ARGH. I think this has potential to be good.

After he dipped the bread, he rolled it in Cap’n Crunch cereal that had been crushed with the potato masher. Cream Cheese mixture: 1 brick cream cheese, softened 4 large spoonful's Marionberry jam John mixes the mixture with a stick blender and then fries the bread in shortening (just like 1/4”).  He keeps it between 300 and 320 degrees.
