I made these cinnamon rolls and the dough is the best that I have had. The dough was light and easy to make. I made a couple of minor changes. Instead of using all purpose flour I used bread flour and I put butter, cinnamon, sugar and pecans in the bottom of the pan because my family does not care for glaze on their cinnamon rolls. Excellent recipe I can't wait to make these to take to my women's bible study group.

Very moist and great flavor! I was a little confused when you said to roll the dough jelly-roll style, but then you didn't cut them before letting them rise again. I let them rise not cut and it was a hassle to cut them afterward, even with dental floss. Next time I will cut them first. I do love this recipe though! I've been looking for a good one! I used a thick butter cream frosting for mine and my family loved them! I like how fast they rise and how easy the dough is to handle and work with! Thanks so much!

The dough is tender and yet, I felt the rolls were a little bland. Probably a little cream cheese to the icing might make up for it. Dough is easy with which to work, but it still needs some extra cinnamon. I used 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, but would use a little more next time. All-in-all a very good recipe, but still not the awesome one for which I am looking.
