Since I really don't have any finished knitting to show you I thought I'd share with you my newest discovery in the kitchen.
I think I have found the easiest and quite possibly the healthiest cinnamon rolls that I know of. They are so easy that you could make them everyday if you wanted to. I've even made a bunch and froze them. Twenty seconds in the microwave and you have a warm cinnamon roll for breakfast. My family loves them and me for making them :) The dough is just flour, yeast, salt...that's it. No eggs, no butter or oil. Fat-free! The only fat I used was just enough melted smart-balance margarine in making up the cinnamon and sugar filling. How is it that they are so easy? Well, I use the master bread recipe from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
book. Here's the link to Zoe and Jeff's blog that shows you how to make the cinnamon rolls. I don't use the brioche dough and I use a simple icing of milk (skim), confectionery sugar and vanilla. I make the peasant bread version substituting 2 cups of whole wheat flour for some of the all purpose flour.You can even make them up the night before and let them rest in the fridge overnight and bake them in the morning.
I also have been making sandwich rolls using the same recipe. I have been freezing the rolls and making up sandwiches with the frozen rolls and then by lunch time they are all thawed out and you have a sandwich on a fresh roll. Delicious. Enjoy :)Copyright ©2006-2012 hakucho, All Rights Reserved.

ReplyDeleteBoy, oh boy, oh boy. I love cinnamon rolls, I love easy, and I just got the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book for Christmas. Score! Thanks for sharing. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your prayers and well wishes for my upcoming hip replacement. You are correct, there have been so MANY advances in orthopedics, I'm told that this surgery will be 2 hours as opposed to the 10 hours of my last hip revision!!! AND, a 4 inch incision instead of 18 inch incision! Home in 2 days, not 10 days, sounds good all around!
ReplyDeleteYum...they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteSome things definitely outshine knitting. YUM!!

They look awesome! Funny, we just had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, just Pillsbury though. Yours look much better. Thanks for the visits, always appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteMe popping back round. Thanks for the kind words about Got Brown, busy working on another one, as I look out at the cold day am glad to be indoors.
