I know it has been a long time since my last post and I apologize. There have been many meals using both new and old recipes to post but no time to do it. This morning, however, I found myself with enough time to try something new and post about it. I am currently cooking quick cinnamon rolls in my dutch oven for a late breakfast. After looking around the net for easy roll recipes and finding that most of them involved using a pre-mix like Bisquick or pre-made dough like Pillsbury crescent rolls I decided to make my own. For the dough I used 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp baking powder. After mixing this together I added 3/4 water. I found out that the measurements on this did not work quite right. The dough was too sticky and I had to add about 1/4 more flour to get the dough stiff enough to roll. After rolling the dough into a long rectangle I brushed on melted butter and sprinkled it with cinnamon and brown sugar. This was rolled and sliced like traditional cinnamon rolls. Currently they are baking at 350 degrees. They will be covered with a simple glaze using powdered sugar and a little water. I will post again later with the results :)
Update--
Ok, they look great! The top was not as brown as I would normally like but that was due to the depth of the dutch oven. The bottom was browned nicely and they were yummy! We ate strawberries as well to complete our breakfast.
This would make a great camp breakfast with wild raspberries! It is also very kid friendly as they can always help mix the dough and roll it out.
