I had a craving for Cinnamon Rolls.
Started the dough on Tuesday evening.
Rolled out, cut and placed in a buttered pan.
Covered and into the fridge.
I was up early Wednesday morning so I took the pan out of the fridge and left it on the counter to continue rising and come to room temperature.
The original recipe calls for just a 30 minute rest, but it was more than hour till the rolls had risen sufficiently to bake.
Hot out of the oven.
Iced with a cream cheese frosting while still warm.
Served at 6:00 AM with a strong cup of coffee.
This recipe is from Joy of Baking.
