Cinnamon Rolls - It's what's for breakfast!

[MissPrissy]

Plain icing is 2 cups confectioners sugar, 2 tbsp milk and a drop of vanilla or other flavoring.

The Sugar can sometimes be super stiff so only add 1/2 tsp of liquid at a time if you need more. It should be thick like elmer's school glue.

Is this 1/2 of the whitebread recipe from Stacey?

It's the whole recipe she posted. (gumpsgirl, right?)

I don't think I had 2 cups of icing to begin with, but that wasn't near as bad as how the rolls turned out in general. They don't taste too bad. Next time I'll roll the roll tighter and put them closer together on the tin. I spaced them too far I think.

Her recipe makes 2 whole loaves of bread.

It doesn't look like you have that much there on the baking tray.

What kind of flour did you use?

The recipe should have made one to one and a half 9 x 13 pans of cinnamon rolls.

well i think the problem was that I rolled it out then just rolled it and cut it. I didn't roll and try to extend it at all. Hard to explain but I think I know what I did wrong.

Some of these rolls are 4 inches thick. There's a lot more to them than what the photo looks like.

When the dough rises the first time -

Punch it down.

Cut it into 2 pieces.

Roll each piece out into a long wide rectangle - at least 12inches x 8 inches.

Put on the butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, etc.

Roll it up tight. Cut into 1/2 inch rounds.

Put them on your baking pan and let the dough rise again.

Then bake them.

Then top with icing while hot.
