I mean bread dough. Literally. I read The Gardner's Cottage latest post on how to make an inexpensive and thoughtful hostess gift of homemade artisan bread and was very impressed. Mostly though, I just wish I lived near an Ikea.

Daughter #1 called yesterday and asked if she could come over and help her make The Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls With much trepidation I agreed. Have you seen that recipe? Do you know how many rolls that recipe makes?
So Daughter shows up around 8pm. Yes, 8pm to make yeast rolls. Scores of yeast rolls.
Eight pans worth of yeast rolls.
I think we finished up around 11pm.
I had to laugh. There's Janet's elegant healthy bread and here's our heart attack waiting to happen bread. There's enough butter and sugar in those cinnamon rolls to clog the arteries of ten people I'm sure.
They sure are tasty though.

Deb-I've missed you and your humorous! It's the holidays....forget the butter and late hour.....what a treat to spend the evening with your daughter. I should make my boys read this. :)
Happy holidays!!!
awww deb. i'd gladly trade a boring bread for a tin of those rolls. yum.
xoxoxo
Yum, yum, yum.
They are also useful as currency. Two pans paid for computer repair once. Never underestimate the worth of butter and sugar.
Enjoy!
That artisan bread looks super-yummy. I love bread.

Do you have any tricks that prevent you from turning into a pumpkin?
Do you still have my address to send a tray of those to?
Yum! Looks SO delicious and sounds like the best kind of evening! Lucky people will be sharing those goodies! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Deb!
Is there an award for Canada's funniest blog? I'm nominating you. You make me laugh.
I've got to say, living within striking range of Ikea sure makes life worth living.
Your rolls look scrumptious. Maybe at 2am tomorrow you could bake Ms gardener's cottage loaf?
Yes, they do look yummy.
Oh my...really no Ikea?
The more I think about it, that's why family down there always hits Ikea when they visit....
What a fun evening with your daughter, and the results look so YUM! I can't keep up with the late hours of the young'uns these days either... Ikea? I can't stand following that endless yellow path - I'll pass on the budget teatowels :)
Nothing like a cinnamon bun with icing and raisins. I cheat and use a ready made pizza dough from Fortinos to make mine.
I'm coming to Canada. That's all.
It's great to know that even if I turn up at 8pm you'll be up for it! I have read about those rolls, but had never seen humans make them. How much fun is your life!
At least you didn't break anything!
They look delicious- probably better than a tim tam. Your daughter looks far too spick and span for somebody who is cooking at midnight. It is positively uncouth to look so perky under such conditions!
