I really wanted to experience making something from scratch during the course of this project. I was hoping at first to make homemade bread, but my roommate Rachelle was making homemade cinnamon roles. I couldn't pass that up. I watched her make up roles from half of the dough, and I copied her using the other half. (Dough is half wheat). She let me spread the dough out on top of flour until it was evenly spread in the shape of a cookie sheet, then spread an entire stick of butter on it, poured a cinnamon sugar mixture over the top, sprinkled water, rolled it up, and pinched the appropriate sized roles with dental floss. My favorite part was pinching the dough off with the dental floss. They turned out fantastic and after baking we put frosting over the top. They take a long time to make because the dough has to rise and then rise again after you make them before they can bake. The cinnamon roles turn out huge but we fit 24 roles on one pan. It was quite an experience making them and I will definitely make them again in the future. I would call this a success. They are better than pilsbury.
Estimated Cooking time: A long time-give yourself 4-6hrs.
