    I used to keep my children home from school 1 day sometime before Christmas and we would all bake all day long. Then they could take a plate of their goodies that THEY made to the teacher with a card they made. They were so proud that they did it. My friend always comments how my kitchen counters were FILLED with cookies and candies. We always had such a great time and it took the next day to get the kitchen clean - but SO worth it.

    @@user-uq2sq5wg9b I haven't made this recipe, yet. But I regularly bake bread with mashed potatoes in it (i.e. potato bread). And all the potato mash does for bread is give it extra moisture, you don't taste the potatoes themselves. Should be the same in for the cinnamon rolls. If you're still worried, pick the blandest and most starchy potatoes you can get. The type you'd want for mashed potatoes.

    @@user-qw2nt1dl2x I've baked them twice since my first response. I needed to half the amount of water, probably because I don't scoop the flour (I go with the weight in grams, i.e. 125g per cup). My oven runs hot, so I had to adjust baking temperature to about 340F/25 min. Otherwise, the recipe works like a charm. Since it's only my husband and I, I halved the original recipe (using 3 eggs and adjusted the water accordingly). This gave me 24 rolls, 12 per form. First time around, I made them as sticky buns. Very decadent and delicious. Second time, I used a cream-cheese filling instead: 8 oz cream cheese, 1 1/3 c sugar, 16 tpbs soft unsalted butter, cinnamon, a dash of cardamom -> mix with handmixer until well blended. Mind you, this is the amount I used for just 24 rolls. Will definitely make these again, recipe now lives in my recipe folder as "Amish cinnamon rolls".

    I love the part about your little boys possibly wrapping up your own apron to give you for Christmas. That reminded me of the time that our 8-year-old boy jumped up after unwrapping gifts Christmas morning and disappeared for a few minutes. We heard rustling upstairs, and then he returned with a messily-wrapped "present" and had us unwrap it. It was a partially-used box of Kleenex from his room.😂😂😂

    I made cinnamon roles and breakfast for my daughter’s prom date and her friend and her date - they finished up at the prom basically just four friends, and arrived to my house at about 1.00 am. They extended the party over omelettes and bacon and cinnamon rolls and fruit and orange juice. It was sweet and innocent and pure and I knew our children were safe, behaving and having a fun experience. No alcohol, no dangerous country roads. And, the girls were home to my house and the boys went home from my house. I was the maitre d, and waited on them discreetly. It was wonderful fun!! You’ve made me want to try this again. Your recipe looks better than mine!! Thank you so much!!

I encourage everyone to make these, they are the best.I have tried many cinnamon roll recipes from KZread and NONE of them comes close to this recipe. This recipe is a heirloom keeper! Thank you for sharing. I’m a first time subscriber. I love your Bosch mixer. I’m going to purchase it so I can make the larger recipe. My Kitchen Aid can’t handle that amount. Watching a Bosch tutorial I realized how much more superior the Bosch machine performs. Correction; after much research I decided the Ankarsrum is so far above the rest. I ordered the red one from Amazon.

    Thank you for sharing your review! I’ll be making these very soon! Ps-I’ve had my Bosch for years and it was a hand me down from aunt who made many loaves of bread weekly and it’s still going. But, now I’m curious about the mixer you mentioned and want to check it out. As great as my Bosch is I don’t know if it will go for about 20 or so years, gosh it has to be older than that because I got it from her in 2016 or 2017 and it was 20+ years old then. My aunt lived to 86 and went through 2 Bosch mixers - neither died but she wanted a newer model. I was thrilled to take the old one and love it to bits! I did have a kitchen aid at one time but a double batch of my bread killed it. I love that the Bosch actually prefers and works more efficiently when it is well filled. Now I’m off to check out that mixer you mentioned. I want to be prepared if I ever find myself in need of a new mixer. Happy baking ❣️💞 🍞 😊

I wanted a red one so I gave my old one to my daughter 5 years ago. It’s still running. The Kitchen Aide is great for regular jobs etc but for big batches and sourdough recipes I love the Ankarshrum. I decided against the Bosch because of its size only. The Ankarshrum is more compact. I watched a video on how the mixers mix and the Ankarshrum did a complete job. They used a dough and food coloring in the dough for the demonstration. I have been using the Ankarshrum for a short while enough to know I am very happy with its performance. It fits well in my kitchen. Good luck with whatever you choose but every time you use your mixer you will think on your wonderful Aunt. ❤️

    Same at my house. Mom always made sticky buns for Christmas morning. Now she lives with me and if my brother is visiting at Christmas i make them again. I am going to try the addition of potatoes this year. I've been baking a long time and never heard that and it makes tons of sense.

    This warmed my heart❤ Thank you for this tutorial! I love that the little boys may have wrapped your beloved apron for a present 😆When you open it you'll be so genuinely happy to have it back. They obviously loved the after school treat! And the momories made while baking and making as a family❤

    Thank you for sharing this with us. You are a precious beautiful lady and I gotta tell you, I thought you were in your 20's until you said 'my grown children'! My two best friends in High School in Arkansas were twin sisters, Karen & Kathy Zimmerman. Their family moved down from Illinois in 1976 (our sophomore year). They were the middle two kids of 14! God bless you and your family!

    I love that you make a double recipe! That’s what I always do, too. So many others make tiny recipes of cookies that make about 12-18 cookies and I so dislike seeing this knowing I need to triple a recipe like this. So thank you for baking and cooking like many of us like to do! We so appreciate you! Merry Christmas!
