Nice Buns, Hun
May 20, 2019
Wanting to level-up my dough skills, I bought a 4 ounce jar of active dry yeast. To start my mission, cinnamon buns. I used Chocolate Covered Kate’s recipe as my inspiration.
Yeast getting its feeding on.
The dough before it rose (left). And after (right).
It was a beautiful, buoyant dough.
I didn’t roll it out as thin as she suggested. So I made less buns but they were pretty big. I might use oil next time instead of Earth Balance as there was not much contrast in the cinnamon filling.
Since I forgot to take a picture before putting ’em in the oven, here they are in the oven!
All done. They had to bake more than the 20 minutes the recipe suggested. I baked mine for approximately 30 minutes. See what I mean about the lack of contrast? That’s okay! Leftover cream cheese frosting to the rescue.
There we go! Commence photo shoot. Those are some hot and beautiful buns.
Decadence.
This was great dough practice. Hmm, what next?
