Though I could only find bread machine yeast (not nearly as fast as the instant version, even though it said it was comparable, I forged ahead anyway. The rise time was about 7 hours, and the steam proofing time about an hour, but the results in the end were wonderful! Will make again and again. Perhaps I will use more cream cheese the next time and less powdered sugar, as that is how I like my icing, but the flavor and texture were superb. Will try pecans next time as well. Incidentally, a great source for instant yeast (especially if you bake a lot of bread as well as other hard-to-find and gourmet items is www.kingarthurflour.com. There are a few kinds, but the "gold" version is specially formulated for doughs high in sugar (i.e. cinnamon buns or acid (like sourdoughs. Comes in a one pound block (~96 loaves, but can be kept in the freezer. I am ording mine today. I haven't looked, but I'd be willing you can get high quality cinnamon there as well. Very reasonable prices as well.

This was my first time making cinnamon rolls ever, and it was painless. I made several substitutions because of what I had on hand (eg: traditional active yeast instead of instant, milk and vinegar instead of buttermilk, molasses and granulated sugar instead of brown sugar, and half whole wheat flour instead of all AP flour, but it all turned out just fine. The dough did take about 4-5 hours to double in size, but it otherwise acted the way it was supposed to. The texture of the finished rolls was fantastic, the filling was pleasant, and the icing was just enough for our needs. I'll definitely be keeping this recipe to do again!

These rolls are fairly easy to prepare, have an excellent taste, and look wonderful. Everyone whom I've baked these for are always impressed.

This is a good recipe to use when you need to bring something into the office. You do most of the prep work the night before and just bake it off in the morning. I added chopped walnuts to the cinnamon filling - yum!

Mine didn't rise quite enough, but they were still delicious! Starting them the night before made it so much easier as well.

I am a chef by trade so I am familiar with many types of baking and was not afraid to try this recipe. For those of you not familiar and still want to try be sure to read carefuly"Room Temperature" means just that. If you don't let things get to RT then your dough will take for ever to rise initially. These are by far some of the best Cinnamon Rolls I have ever tasted and if you could see me you would know that I've had a few. Easy recipe buntastic results. Bravo o master of food science!

Wow....what a difference INSTANT yeast makes!! I used rapid rise the first time, and they DID NOT turn out. So, since it is VERY hard to find in local stores....you can order online at Emergency Essentials for $3.50 (plus $5 for shipping This is the best price I found. You are looking for SAF Instant Yeast. These were a lot of fun to make, especially since baking is kind of foreign to me! They were easy, and taste fantastic. I will try more recipes calling for yeast in the future....WAY TO GO A.B.!!!! You the man!

You can make these rolls really at your convenience. I didn't have time to let them rise right after I mixed the dough so I put it in the refrigerator and allowed it to rise later. Granted it took a little more to get the proper rise and all. The rolls are delicous. I prefer a lighter icing so I will make my own the next time.

Although these rolls take some time to develop, they turn out very scrumptious. Rarely can I say this, but these rolls made my eyes roll back into my head they were so delicious.
