CINNAMON ROLLS
This isn't really a recipe so much as another method for using up great yeast dough.
When he made those homemade bread rolls the other day, the s.o. refrigerated half the dough. Last night I took it out, brought it to room temp, and let it rise for a while. I stretched it out into a rectangle on a large nonstick cookie sheet, coated it liberally in brown sugar and cinnamon, and rolled it up into a log. Then I cut the log into slices and let the resulting rolls rise for another half hour. I baked them for about 15 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Cinnamon rolls need a glaze, so I combined powdered sugar (a cup or two) with a tablespoon or two of milk and whisked it, tweaking the amounts, until it was the right consistency.
These are really good, especially with fresh hot coffee, and I imagine you could use different bread doughs if you wanted to customize them. Imagine making them with challah dough!

Ack. I'm hopeless with yeast breads (so far) my stuff always seems to turn into weaponry after an hour or so.
Me too! That's why I let the s.o. deal with such things. He's got "the touch."
