Cinnamon Rolls 101

I'll admit that I have only used yeast a handful of times in my life (and not always successfully!) When I read an article in Bon Appetit by Molly Wizenberg (a.k.a. Orangette) titled "The Trouble with Yeast," I knew that I had to try to make these gooey Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Glaze for myself. I had to put the rolls directly on the heat register so that they would be warm enough to rise, and it took a lot longer than the recipe suggested, but they were a success! I took a picture of the rolls in the pan so that I would know when they had "doubled in size." This picture shows them at the peak of plumpness.

Hey Craig and Brenda,
I made these cinnamon rolls on Friday too! I saw the recipe in Bon Appetit and knew I had to try them. They took a lot longer to rise than it said, I agree...
