My program at work was having our own holiday brunch on a Saturday morning to celebrate the season and when I mentioned cinnamon rolls as a possibility everyone immediately said 'yes that is what you are bringing.' I had never actually made homemade yeast cinnamon rolls before so perhaps it was a bit risky but whatever. I used this recipe:
Cinnamon Rolls on the Food Network
I followed this down to the letter since I had never made these before. I got up at 7 in the morning to start since they have to rise. Twice.

| This was the dough after it rose the first time. It didn't seem as large as I thought it should be, but when I punched it down there was a lot of air in it. |
 |
| These are what they looked like after rolling an cutting. Apparently I could work on uniformity... |
 |
| This was post baking, pre glazing. |
The finished product was amazingly delicious. I couldn't believe how simple they were, even if it did take forever. I have since learned, however, that yeast can be a triflin' hoe. I attempted yeast rolls on Christmas Eve that were like hockey pucks. Tasty, but dense as hell.
