Welcome

Welcome Friends!! This little blog is for all my friends and family that have requested I share my recipes and other homemaking ideas… As most of you know, we moved onto a 64 acre farm about two years ago… we still have our Family Nights, but now many of us live up here on the farm: Mom and Dad live with Lanny and I, Paula built her house in one of the existing barns, Robbie and Molly built inside the big barn by us… You can check it all out on our blog the Johnson Gap Chronicles… Anyway, I am still fermenting and brewing all over my kitchen, but our Tuesday night dinners are not as large as they used to be. All the grands except 2 are grown, have jobs, live in other cities, and with the recent Covid insanity (and our daughter-in-laws heart transplant) James and Tasha are not out much lately. We just move on and look forward to better days. Thanks for peeking in… check back now and then and I promise to add new recipes and ideas as I am inspired :-) God bless!!

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

You can use my basic bread recipe with just a few minor changes to make delicious cinnamon rolls.

Ingredients for Dough:
2 Tbsp Butter (use butter, not margarine)
1 ½ Cups Water
4 Cups All Purpose Unbleached Bread Flour
1 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 cup Sugar
2 tsp Yeast

For Cinnamon Filling:
3 to 6 tbs butter 
1/8 to 1/4 cup sugar
Cinnamon to taste

Icing:
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Drizzle cold water to icing consistency

Directions: 
Combine dough ingredients, in order, in bread maker. Set for dough cycle. 

After first rise roll or pat out dough into a large rectangle on an oiled counter top. Spread softened butter on the dough, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar to taste.

Starting on the long end begin rolling the dough into a log. Cut into 1 inch spirals (cut 12 to do 3 rows of 4 buns) and arrange in a large baking pan (9x12 Pyrex or Cake Pan).

Let rise for 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and drizzle icing.

YUM!!

I will add some photos soon.
