Dissapointed: If you were going for that yummy, gooey, kind of Cinnabon-tasting cinnamon roll, I’m sure these DID taste awful. It’s a Peter Reinhart recipe, and he’s all about making a bun with less fat content. It’s definitely bready. What you were probably looking for is something with a brioche dough.

The issue with the flour was probably humidity. I always have to add a little more flour to any dough when it’s been raining or generally humid.

Sorry for the disappointment!

My friend and I tried this recipe today and I’m sorry to say they came out AWFUL. The two of us are not inexperienced bakers, we know how to follow a recipe, and we did follow your recipe. To be honest i feel your recipe was very disorganized and the amount of flour needed was COMPLETELY off because the dough came out entirely too sticky and we needed to add almost a whole cup of extra flour to get the dough to form a ball. The next problem was after they finished baking they tasted like bread, the only flavor on them was from the frosting. I am highly disapointed because I really wanted to like them…but they ended up being a waste of time, effort, and groceries.

I’m trying to keep myself from licking the screen and at the same time I’m calculating how the hell you can get these made for breakfast?!? I think you have to get up at 4 am or some such rot, in order to have them 10am. Not fair!

With buns like that, there need be no apology. OK, I’m sure you received a lot of comments on “bun” innuendos, but seriously. SERIOUSLY. I’d pay lots of money for those. Lots and lots. That is absolutely GORGEOUS. My mouth is watering.

Ack! I KNOW whatyou mean about allergies! I’m allergic to soy and the first time I drank soy milk, my throat and lips swelled. Scary! I love your pictures and this dessert looks WAAAY good.

Oh, I feel your pain! I had the very same allergic reaction with my bottom lip once. Woke up in the middle of the night and thought “Hmmm…what’s that on my chin?” Turned out to be my huge Sherman Clump-esque lip! I actually had to go to the ER and get shot up with steriods, which brought down the swelling in 24 hours. Good luck with yours – and I love love love your blog!

Cinnamon buns beat out Dimply Plum Cake every time! Wow. Those looks amazing. I’ve never made them before, but I’m definitely going to now. Thanks for sharing the recipe. :) I hope your lip is getting better.

Oh My Gosh! I’m from the south and cinnamon “buns” or rolls as we call them are enough to make me melt, give up all promises to stay away from sugar (all to make the running easier). Yes that perfectly unbridled abandon when the scent of cinnamon, sugar and butter hits your nose. YMMMM Thanks for sharing and I hope you feel better soon : ))
