Simply Sweet Rolls - fresh! Can you smell that cinnamon?

This recipe came from Bill and Vanessa. We made tons of these to sell when we were raising funds for the Youth Group Ski Trips – many years ago. They are as delicious as they are quick and easy to make. I always have the ingredients on hand so I can make and take these any time. Just recently, I baked some up to share with a grieving family; a small bit of comfort - fresh baked breakfast rolls.

Baking yeast rolls isn’t as difficult as some people make it out to be. First, gather your ingredients. Mix everything up – I use my Kitchen Aid Mixer. Let the dough rise. Roll out the dough and spread the butter, sugar, and cinnamon mixture. Roll it up into a log, the slice into rolls. I use a bit of cotton yarn or unflavored dental floss to easily cut the dough. Place the rolls in the pans. Let the dough rise again. Bake and then drizzle while they are still warm from the oven to make a nice glaze. I did learn the hard way that you can put too much sugar and frosting on a sweet roll. Who knew? Now you do!
