Bread Baker’s Apprentice: CHALLENGE #8 Cinnamon Buns

UPDATE:The cinnamon rolls were just a little dry. Not like a gooey/doughy type cinnamon roll. I baked them for 23 minutes and I think 20 may have been better and maybe I could hold back a little flour.

YES, I SKIPPED #7 the ciabatta! I will do that one next week!
Oh well, I'm a rebel.
We've got special company coming over tonight for coffee and I thought the cinnamon buns would be nice to have!
I did the cinnamon bun recipe using all purpose flour and King Arthur's Baker's Special Dry Milk.

Here they are cooling and yes they are huge!

DID you see the "S"??? LOL!

Here they are with the glaze! I only made up half of the glaze and
didn't hardly use half of that. :)

Thought you would like to see the "S" by itself all glazed.
YUM!

I will most definaltely make these again and again and again. SO VERY GOOD!

  4. HoneyB,
    I knew you would want to stop because you are tired and need some sugar. I could maybe spare one. LOL! :)
    Thanks!

  6. Really great work! You have quite an S fetish, don't you?

    I'm backed up against the wall with commercial photo work, but will be back baking again soon.

  10. Phyl,
    Thanks! I'm sort of confused on when to use my starter. I guess Reinhart used the word BARM in place of starter but don't know what the consistency being different. I'll learn.
    Thanks again and have fun with your Challah.

  11. Niagaragirl,
    Thanks! Yes, my fetish with the "S" is getting harder to design for each loaf. I may have to quit. :o)
    Hope you can find time soon to bake.

  15. Susie, your cinnamon buns look amazing. I'm almost tempted to skip cibatta and go ahead too! have a great weekend.

  16. Looks like the dough gave you a very light textured roll. I bet they just melted in your mouth. Frank, baker/blogger @ KAF.

  17. Cindy,
    Thanks! I think next time I may bake them a little less or be more careful with the flour adding. They seemed a bit dry. Not bad but more like bread than a true cinnamon roll.
    :)
    Have fun,
    Susie

  19. They sure do look lovely Susie! I'm going to pay close attention to the amount of flour when I make them thanks your heads-up about them being a little on the dry side.

  20. Thanks Mags. They sure WERE tasty. :)

    ReplyDelete

  25. I like your rebel attitude and I might bake these sooner although I'm thinking of taking a week off from BBAC since I'm ahead by one week. But your yummy-looking rolls are seducing me.LOL

  30. Oh dear. I didn't realize these were coming up! Mr. B just talked about going in to have his cholesterol checked...after the brioche and with these on the horizon I'll have to tell him to wait until fall! They look absolutely divine. Great job!

  33. They are fabulous. I want one. I made the ciabattas. Did not get those big holes. I think I did not put enough water. I have to make those buns soon.

  34. Helene,
    I made the ciabatta today too and will report about it tomorrow. I didn't get the big holes either but it is a very tasty bread. :)
    Thanks Helene,
    Susie

  35. Oh, yum. Those look fantastic, especially since I haven't eaten breakfast yet. =) I've made these before, and I'm really looking forward to making them again. Maybe next weekend, since I'm finally getting to ciabatta this weekend.
