You can't really go by time.....you need to go by how the dough raises. Just going by the clock doesn't work since the room temp can be different....even the humidity can make a difference in how it raises.

That could be why too then, Im still young and trying to be "betty crocker" lol, heres the last one I tried I was just going by the recipe
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mothers-Cinnamon-Rolls/Detail.aspx

and I was thinking, I covered it with a hand towel, maybe it took all the moisture? could it matter what kind of flour I use? or yeast? ( I used all-purpose flour and quick rise yeast(its all the store had))

Here is an example of the same basic recipe, but one bread had an extra long first raise...I always cover my bread loosely with plastic wrap (give it room to raise).






BTW - Katy used your cheesecake pastry crust for my husband's chocolate cheesecake birthday cake, it was great!

You need to let it raise till it's double....whether that's an hour or longer. When you think it's doubled in bulk, poke your finger into it lightly (1/2" or so) ....if the indentation stays it's ready to punch down and form into whatever shape you're making. I cover mine with plastic wrap.

Glad you liked it....I like it soooo much better than a graham cracker crust.
