A Lesson From the Queen of Dough

My mom makes the best rolls, cinnamon rolls, and home made bread. Her bread has even won contests. So while my mom was here I had her give me lessons in roll making and cinnamon roll making. I have her recipes, but every time I have tried to make them something happens to my yeast and it doesn't rise. So I figured I needed a lesson from the expert. I also was signed up to bring rolls to Thanksgiving dinner, and I didn't want store bought rolls, so I definitely needed some pointers. We spent 2 different afternoons on our lessons. It was more of a visual lesson than a hands on lesson, but we wanted this batch to taste good too. :)

The cinnamon rolls of course turned out wonderfully, and so did our rolls. (I forgot to get pictures of that process.) I haven't made cinnamon rolls again yet, but my rolls for Thanksgiving turned out pretty good.

Thanks for the lesson Mom!!! I hope I don't let you down. But I'm sure it will take some time to perfect my skills like yours.
