| CinnaNOM rolls |
[Feb. 26th, 2012|06:07 pm] |
That's what my sister called it!
I got my recipe from Laura Vitale, who is one of my favourite chefs to watch. I might even say more than I like Nigella Lawson. She makes everything simple and I like that she does not dump a truckload of sugar into her recipes.
When they were fresh out of the oven, they were nice and fluffy, as bread should be. Unfortunately, when it cooled down, they became a little hard. I may have kneaded it a little too long. Will remember to not overdo it when I next make these.
Because the recipe makes for 16 rolls, I have been eating these for breakfast for the past week. My dad likes to warm this up in the microwave for about 30 seconds. And I agree that this makes it better because it becomes soft and fluffy again.
Just 5 minutes ago, I decided to make a quick bread pudding with the rolls. For this, I tore a roll up into bite-sized chunks and poured milk into the bowl to cover the chunks about halfway. Microwaved this for 40 seconds and ta-dah! A quick cinnamon roll bread pudding. Will be having this for breakfast tomorrow if it isn't too hot! |
