I see I've done it again, no posts since September. It was a busy fall. One of my big problems is just failure to document. I need to remember to take pictures of stuff.
Anyway, when I was a kid on Christmas morning my mother would "make" cinnamon buns. I put make in quotes because she really just popped a Pillsbury can.
A few years ago, for Christmas, I snagged a can on cinnamon buns and was disappointed with the quality. You really can't go home again.
I can't remember if it was last year or the year before I decided to make my own dang cinnamon buns and fired up the bread maker. I changed up my usual dough with added sugar and they came out pretty good.
For Christmas 2025 we kinda went crazy.
On Christmas eve we put together 3 bread doughs by hand. Looking back I don't appear to have written about making bread before which surprises the heck out of me. Anyway we threw together my standard bread recepie:
1C flour
1tsp salt
5/8tsp yeast
1 1/2C water
and let them rise overnight.
In the morning we rolled them out thin and made cinnamon rolls and 2 different styles of cinnamon bread:
I'd originally intended to just do cinnamon rolls but Angie had other ideas.
The thing on the left is a loaf of cinnamon bread, it's upside down which makes it look weird.
In retrospect the middle thing looks like a fox. They curl up like that to sleep. Next time we make one I'd put ears on it.
Overall as an experiment these were delicious and we'll be making more soon.
