And here it is Saturday at 11 and I catching up on my DVR of Grey's and waiting for Cinnamon Buns to rise (breakfast in the am). I quickly leave you with a few days of dinner and I'll see you in about a week.
Cinnamon Buns
Dough:
1 Pack of Yeast
1/2 cup Warm Water
1/2 cup Scalded Almond milk
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/3 cup Butter
1 pinch of Salt
1 egg
3 1/2 to 4 cups Flour
Filling:
1/2 cup melted butter,
Sugar, Cinnamon, Maple Sugar
Glaze:
I mix powder sugar, almind milk, vanilla and a pat of butter till I like the flavor and texture.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
When doubled in size, punch down dough. Roll out on a floured surface into a 15 by 9-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts, pecans, or raisins if desired. Beginning at the 15-inch side, role up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12 to 15 slices. I almost always make these at night and bake in the am. So at this point I just cover with foil and put in the fridge.
Coat the bottom of baking pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned.
