YESSSS!!! i have been secretly counting the days till i could make these! during my freshman year of college, i visited the campus Cinnabun more than i should have. i have an evident weakness for sweet cinnamony (esp. frosted) things! I made 9 large cinnamon buns and at this point there are 6 left. we’ll run it off! I had a really hard time deciding which was the most mouth-watering photo to use for this post. thank heavens for FLICKR.
Once again, i am appreciative of the one-day bread recipes. This one was perhaps the easiest challenge to make to date. The only thing i would do differently next time is to put the WHOLE 1/2 C of cinnamon sugar in after rolling out the dough. It seemed excessibe to dump that much sugar onto the dough, and i probably only ended up using half. Now that i am eating th thanks to some extremely well executed dough, they are very tasty anyway. I had forgotten how good these were. i am tempted to go back for bun #2.
Check out more scrumptious photos (and step-by-step commentary) on FLICKR!!!
as usual, and out of respect for this excellent book (which i have been borrowing from my local library) i will not publish Peter Rinehart’s proprietary recipes on this blog. You may find a portion of the recipe on googlebooks.

Just gorgeous! They’re making me crave coffee, too, for some reason.

Nice baking along with you,

Very nice cinnamon rolls! Love the drizzled icing. I still have to do the ciabatta, but these are killing me. WANT.
Comment by Appoggiatura 090627 @ 9:51 amMe too! I love cinnamon rolls. These had the best smelling dough too. Beautiful job.
Comment by Tammy 090627 @ 3:35 pmGreat looking cinnamon rolls. I’m itching to bake mine tomorrow.
Comment by mags 090628 @ 11:11 pmBeautiful! And perfectly iced too. I might have to bake another batch for this weekend.:-)
Comment by oggi 090629 @ 12:06 pmthank you! I am going to the beach with my family this weekend and I think I’ll make a batch for them. Maybe smaller ones, though!
Comment by twoskinnyjenkins 090629 @ 12:09 pmYour photo is making me wish mine were closer to being done than they are right now! Did you use the lemon extract or lemon peel? I read one blog that said the lemon overpowered everything, and now I’m concerned as I mix mine up. And go ahead and make more at the beach – running on sand burns extra calories!
Comment by Janice 090630 @ 11:39 amI actually used lemon juice – i was too cheap to buy extract! I didn’t find it to be overwhelming at all. I think i will make them at the beach…
