Cinnamon Rollsssssssssssssss

I love sweet stuff, you'll be able to figure that out real quick. I remember that the best mornings were the ones that someone in my house cooked breakfast. I thought that back then cinnamon rolls were breakfast, I would die for that to be true today. Although I also loved when my dad made pancakes, over-easy eggs just the way I like them, hashbrowns, bacon, or sausage. I guess I've just always loved breakfast. Still today breakfast is never missed and always enjoyed! Even if now it means cinnamon rolls have to be replaced by fruit and oatmeal.
Well, I decided since there are no cinnamon rolls in Argentina that I would make them from scratch for the first time. They turned out incredible. I didn't know if its because I hadn't had one in forever or because I was starving, but thanks to everyone who I shared them with scarfing down two dozen, I knew that it wasn't just me. Success!
I am sure I will be making them more often!

Step 1

mix together, the flour, yeast, and salt. Then on the side in a separate bowl mix together the butter, milk, and hot water. At first it should look like this, really watery, but that's only  because we will add anywhere from 2-3.5 more cups of flour.

Once you have your watery dough, add in one egg. Once your egg is mixed, add in 1.5 more cups of flour. Or as much as you need for it to be sticky. Start with one cup and add gradually until it's sticky and looks like this.

Now its time to rest and let it rise for about 20 minutes. I waited a half hour and lost track of time while I was outside with Benji and everyone else, but no big deal, as long as you wait at least 20 and it has doubled its size, and looks like this.

pretty airy so poke it! put it on the counter top with some flour, just enough in order to knead it a little bit. I only knead for about 4-5 minutes. I feel like anymore time is ridiculous. But I'm no baker.

After you have kneaded it a little, roll it out into the best rectangle you can pull off. Mine looks like this. ..

You can see that it doesn't have to be perfect. Because what you do next is spread the filling mixture all over it! Get as close to the borders as you can because when you cut the rolls you want all of them to have a good amount of filling mixture. Like this..

or more if you want... and you'll want!!

Now start rolling, I've already started.

Once its all rolled, start cutting. I can't tell you how thick you should cut them but they are going to triple in size in the oven, so just take a guess having your pan size in mind.

 

Then stick them in the oven on 350 for 10-15 minutes. Or until they look like this!

 

 

As you can see, I have already poured on the glaze. I did that right when they got out of the oven. mmm they're hot and ready to eat!

DELICIOUS!!

 

p.s. this is torture doing the blog the day after. I want one nowwwww and there are no more.

Took the leftovers to Benjis preschool and let the kids have at it. The teacher told me they were a success but the only one who didn't eat... My kid!

 

Hope you enjoyed :)
