Homemade Cinnamon Rolls are extra soft with a sweet cinnamon swirl inside. Top these rolls with cream cheese icing for the perfect treat! Cinnamon rolls are easy to make but they do take a little bit of time, I can assure you it’s worth it! These cinnamon rolls are not difficult although they do take time. If you haven’t worked with yeast, don’t be intimidated. As long as your yeast is fresh, these should work out just fine! How to Make Cinnamon Rolls Combine the yeast with warm water and sugar (this is called proofing or blooming). The yeast should...

s This month our Bread Bakers host, A Day in the Life on the Farm, has chosen whole grain breads as our theme.  This was just perfect for me as I have been meaning to make this recipe again for some time.  Did you ever find a recipe, pin it, make it, like it, and then go back to find out the original post is gone?  It has happened to me more than once.  Most of the time I have been able to find either an archived copy, or someone else that made it and actually included the recipe and...

s. The rolls are feathery soft and bursting with umami flavor.  Thank you to Lodge Cast Iron for sponsoring this post!

All of it makes me want to snuggle down deep in my thick comfy sweater and embrace the Scandinavian hygge sensibilities. This probably explains why I’ve been baking things like my Swedish Blueberry Cake and Swedish Cardamom Buns (and also making and eating my Swedish Meatball Stroganoff which is totally comfort food).
