Solitary Cinnamon Roll
One lonely, all alone cinnamon roll. Ah but sometimes one isn’t the loneliest number. There’s strength in one. One singular sensation. Uno cinnamon-roll-o. One single-serve cinnamon roll for only you. You are the one who gets to eat this soft pillowy cinnamon roll with a gooey center and maple frosting. I’ve been following Sarah of Broma Bakery for several years. She is a delight. Funny, talented and creative. She recently posted a Cinnamon Roll for One and it’s too good - and brilliant - not to share.
Pull-apart cinnamon bread
In my world, cinnamon rolls are the perfect indulgent treat to enjoy in front of the fireplace with a cup of coffee while opening gifts on Christmas morning. Or any and every morning between Christmas and New Year’s for that matter. Sadly, most years I find that making cinnamon rolls falls to the bottom of the list in my frenzied holiday prepping. When my kids were young, monkey bread (the easier and way-distant cousin of cinnamon rolls) was often the Christmas morning treat. At least until the year I caught my mom’s oven on fire baking monkey bread in her angel food tube pan. Who knew that the buttery sugar and cinnamon mixture would slowly leak to the bottom of her oven. (Sorry mom) This year in the spirit of Christmases past, I made Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread from Sarah Kieffer. This is brilliant. It gives you the satisfaction of a cinnamon roll with the fun of monkey bread.
