    I just made this today and they were amazing! My husband said they were one of the best desserts he has ever had. Their description was spot on: the rolls are so soft and sweet but not too sweet. We couldn’t stop eating them! The techniques were also very helpful. Pinching the dough so it wouldn’t unravel and and the floss trick was great.

    The roux or tangzhong, it involves cooking a portion of the flour and liquid in the recipe into a thick slurry prior to adding the remaining ingredients, resulting in soft, fluffy bread.

    Followed the recipe exactly, and they looked beautiful after the second proof. Funny the mentioned doughy centers because I couldn't get these baked in the middle even after cranking the temp up to 400 and adding 11 minutes to the bake time. I have never had an issue with my oven past but that doesn't mean there isn't one now, plus I used a glass bake pan which if you believe people who know about such things say you should lower the recommended temperature 25 degrees because glass transfers more heat than metal. I will say the buns I tasted which baked next to the glass and were mostly baked were absolutely awesome. I am buying an oven thermometer tomorrow. Personally I think covering the buns the last 15 minutes is a mistake because I think it leads to a steaming in the pan itself.

    This was a really good foundation recipe, I will definitely make it again, but with a few changes. I will increase the 'goo' by 50% and I will also triple the cinnamon. I will also add a bit of vanilla next time. The goo also needs a bit more salt. Many of us use a kitchen scale - could you PLEASE give us the measurements in grams? If you have to say 15 1/8 ounce.. you really need to just give it to us in grams. Thanks for the recipe!

    I just tried this. It tastes good, but the "goo" baked onto my 9x13 pan so rock-hard that I have to buy a new one. Meanwhile the dough was almost too soft to roll (the rollup was loose & messy). I followed all steps exactly including bread flour measured by weight, oven temp measured by thermometer, etc. I'm glad if others had more success - but "foolproof", this recipe ain't.

It is the first time I have ever really tried anything like this, even my first time with a mixer. So overall I am happy.

    I've seen weight estimates for bread flour from 120 grams per cup up to 138 grams per cup. 15 1/8 oz is the same as 428.8 grams. If 2 3/4 cups of flour weigh 428.8 grams then 1 cup of flour would weigh 156 grams. Does your flour really weigh 156 grams per cup? Did you start with 15 1/8 oz of flour or did you start with 2 3/4 cups of flour?

    Using the other cup measurements if you do not have a scale, I found that using 2 and 3/4 cups of flour was not enough flour. I had to increase the flour by 2/3 cup, otherwise i the dough is too moisture laden to work with. Three and one third (3 and 1/3 ) cup of flour will work with their measurements

    When I’m making hot cinnamon rolls for after breakfast I start with the first rise. I knock the dough down and covered in plastic,than refrigerate the dough, and the pan with the nuts and Carmel. Once the dough is cool (1 to 2 hours) I remove it and the pan from the fridge. Using a roller I get it to the proper size 18”x15” than add the brown sugar and cinnamon, and roll them up. Cut and put the rolls in your pan and put it back in the refrigerator until Morning. After Breakfast I pull the rolls out of the fridge and bake them off. I find that the secound rise in the fridge allows the rolls to rise to perfection. Because these roll are cold it takes longer to bake them. Checking the temp is very important. I’ve always felt that theseshould be eaten in the morning. I use to get up at 4am to make these,now I do the work at night.
