Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

I love to bake, and in the summer I actually have some down time with nothing that has to be done for the next day. So, I get a chance to do some baking I wouldn't normally do.

One day I spent some time making cinnamon rolls. I used the bread machine to make the dough. I really only use my bread machine to make dough. I think I need to make some "homemade" bread this week.

The dough came out perfect! Then, I rolled the dough out and dumped butter, sugar, and cinnamon on top! What could be better? A log roll was up next with 8 equal cuts. Into the pan they went and baked for 25 minutes.

(Sidenote: This is my first collage I created in Photoshop. I am slowly learning with the help of templates!)

Meanwhile, I mixed the icing up and drizzled it over the cinnamon rolls once they came out. I immediately served up Brian and myself a roll, which we enjoyed poolside! That may just make everything taste better.

I thought the dough recipe was excellent, but I will probably try a different icing recipe next time.

Hmm, what shall I bake tomorrow?
