The September Daring Bakers' Challenge was a fun and easy recipe by Peter Reinhart from The Bread Baker´s Apprentice. I have been making cinnamon rolls for years but with my bread maker. I had tried to make yeast breads with my Kitchenaid mixer when I first got it in 90s but didn't have much luck and then got a bread maker a few years later and that was it. It was a real treat to make bread by "hand." The recipe was easy to follow and I never had a point where I worried if I was following the recipe correctly. One thing I learned (it so critical too) is to not roll your dough to thin which I had been doing in the past and having the chewy results mentioned in the recipe.Here are some pictures of the process. {I just had to get my hand in that dough!}
My rolls ended up being a tad dry. I don't know if I cooked them too long (they were not overly browned) or if the butter content was too low. I will definitely make this recipe again. Thank-you for the challenge Marce.
