My challenge this week was creating a vegan and gluten free cinnamon roll. While I am the baker, Jason is the rising-dough maker in our house (pizza dough!), so this was fairly new to me.
I think I am almost there.
Do you bake? What is your favorite thing to bake?
Have you had luck with yeast dough?

I LOVE to bake...but usually dont bake until I go home to visit my family...I dont like to have tons of goodies hanging around when its just me haha
I make a MEAN Carrot Cake however! Its my dad's favorite...so I had to make it the best!! I think I might try to play with the recipe when Im back for the holidays to make it a bit healthier...aka...cut down the oil!!!

My favorite thing to bake is anything I can put in a muffin pan... I love the perfect portion control... for eggs, pumpkin muffins, cupcakes, any berry muffin, lentil loaf, and more.
spabettie says
that's how I made this batch of cinnamon rolls !! I rolled them and baked them in muffin pans! 😀

I'm definitely more of a baker than a cook but I generally stick to un-yeasted goods. No real good reason, though. These look great!
spabettie says
it's been fun to learn and play with! interesting too, because I bake a lot... yeast is a whole new ballgame! 😀
Jessica @ Dairy Free Betty says
oooooooooh I soooo want this recipe!!! 🙂
spabettie says

I heart baking, and my biggest reluctance in using yeasty doughs is that it takes an age... and if there's a hiccup, you have to go back and do *hours* of work again!!
I made some GF pizza dough this afternoon---made the recipe 3 times before, and for some reason, this time it just wasn't *behaving* right. Interestingly, usually I speed up the proofing with a low oven setting, and this time I did it in the sun... but the elasticity definitely comes out of a higher proofing temp, I think. So there were tears at threats, but no dice: she just didn't want to be stretchy. I decided to go forward regardless and just hope for the best, but my baking perfectionism *definitely* woulda come to play if it were just a matter of re-mixing. Waiting through ANOTHER hour of rising, however, is out of the Q. 🙂
spabettie says
yes, yeast is a funny thing, I am finding... over the week I've made several batches of these... not all have turned out the same... it has been FUN though!!
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
I love to bake actually. I have never tried to make cinnamon rolls though. Those look good!
spabettie says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER !! 😀

spabettie says
I love muffins too! I've made a couple batches of these cinnamon rolls in muffin pans - I like them that way!!
