Uuuuuuuuh... my cinnamon rolls are alive.

As in, they're TALKING to me.

In some weird, cryptic, crackly cinnamon roll voice.

What do you suppose they are attempting to tell me?

Oh, did I not mention that part in the recipe?

Noooooooope. But I'll make a note of it for future reference. :-p

And... they were delicious, by the way. They still didn't pouf up as much as I would have liked, but I suspect that was partly due to the fact that I just Couldn't Be Patient and allow the dough to rise as long as it should have.

But the texture and flavour is perfect. Way better than the Betty Crocker recipe. Ack.

So much of the rising depends on what the weather and temp is like ... I forget whether they like humid or dry air better (humid, I suspect?) but I know we get different results depending on weather conditions. :) Bread! Is so temperamental! But so yummy!

I had not heard that. Hmm. Research must be done.

I have found that the home-ground grains are heavier and I've had to increase the amount of yeast I use in bread to compensate since I started using them exclusively. I think next time I do these rolls I may do that as well as try to be more patient during the rising time.
