This is going to be the start of a series of blog posts where I tell you new recipes from bakers that I have been trying out. I hope it will be a fun way to share what I’ve been up to in the kitchen and give you more recipes to try yourself! If you have a favorite baker you want me to try out let me know in the comments!
Recently I found a baker on Instagram that had a lot of great reviews on her cinnamon roll recipe. In fact, she had been featured on a couple other blogs as the winner of their cinnamon roll bake-offs. This was too great a temptation and I knew I had to give the recipe a go and man oh man it did not disappoint! The cinnamon roll turned out tall, light, and fluffy with great cinnamon taste.
The blog is called The Vanilla Bean Blog and her name is Sarah Kieffer. Here is a link directly to her cinnamon roll recipe http://www.thevanillabeanblog.com/2019/12/cinnamon-rolls.html The dough itself is actually very easy to put together. It takes some time and attention but is so worth it. Also, making sure to put it in the fridge to rest is CRITICAL so know that this recipe is one you’ll want to make the night before or start early in the morning for rolls that night.
Here are some of my tips for this recipe:
1) It takes an hour or two for the dough to warm back up to temperature after being in the fridge to rest. So be sure to account for that in your timing.
2) I like more butter in my filling so I actually use 1/3 cup of super soft butter.
3) Feel free to use any kind of frosting or icing that you like on these. I used a simple buttercream frosting that I had leftover from another recipe and it was delicious!
That is all the tips I have for you on this recipe – which tells you how FANTASTIC it is! So go over to her blog and check it out for yourself!
Happy Friday -Jenny
