I thought I'd quickly share some photos and a recipe for some yummy Cinnamon Rolls!



They are really easy to make in the bread machine - the dough is ready to be rolled after about an hour and a half.



Somewhere recently, I read a tip to brush an egg, rather than butter, on the dough because the egg holds on better to the filling, preventing it from leaking out the tops and bottoms of the rolls. I found it to work quite well.



After rolling, filling, and cutting them, I cover them with plastic wrap and pop them in the fridge overnight. Then, I set my oven to turn on early in the morning and I bake the rolls as soon as I get out of bed. To prevent the inner rolls from staying gooey and the outer ones from over-baking, I've started putting them into smaller baking pans. Every roll is on the perimeter this way and gets done evenly.

They're ready for a delicious breakfast!



I found the recipe on allrecipes.com, a great go-to site for almost any recipe. In the most recent making of these rolls, I was out of vanilla pudding mix, which I'm a little opposed to using anyway, and so I added an extra splash of vanilla and a good sprinkling of sugar to the dough. I figured that is all the pudding mix adds. My children and husband go bonkers over these - and me, too, but I have to exercise some restraint!

Enjoy!
