Having nothing in the house from the sweet's category for the last couple of days - I decided to make cinnamon rolls. I also wanted to play around with Dorie's brioche dough since it is a relatively easy recipe. One idea quickly "morphed" to two and all of a sudden - there had to be lemon rolls too! I wish I could stay focused........
After the dough rested overnight, I took the trusty rolling pin and rolled two pieces out to "about" 8x12 (can you use the word "artisan" to describe rolled dough?) and stuck them back in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
I filled the cinnamon rolls with a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon and some pecans. I was a little afraid that they would not have a good gooey filling since there was nothing in this mix to make them messy. I added a little butter but should have done something different (see below).
A little left over glaze and they were ready!
These were very gooey, messy and delicious - just like the cinnamon rolls will be next time!
Too bad my buddy had to cancel at the last minute this morning..... more for us!
I've never made cinnamon rolls before. I'm still debating between CI's and Peter Reinharts. I think I'm going for the CI filling though.. it looks too gooey. Your cinnamon rolls look really nice and puffy!!
