My challenge this week was creating a vegan and gluten free cinnamon roll. While I am the baker, Jason is the rising-dough maker in our house (pizza dough!), so this was fairly new to me.
I think I am almost there.
Do you bake? What is your favorite thing to bake?
Have you had luck with yeast dough?

Wow these look fantastic. I too love to bake but very rarely is it something that contains yeast and rises. I’m impressed
)
Thanks, Anna! It was fun! I rarely use yeast, either, but now I want to MORE!
Wow. These look promising.
The only thing I make with dough & yeast is pizza dough. I’m not the best at baking/making desserts.
this was my first time ever making cinnamon rolls… (well, THESE were third try, I think!)
Those are vegan and gluten-free? I can hardly believe it! Awesome job!
Thanks, Evan! yep… these photos are… round three, I think…
Those are beautiful!
Thanks, Anna! They are yummy…
Those look ridiculously delicious.
Thanks, Mindy!
I baked cinn rolls with yeast today, too! For the first time… they came out really well. I LOVE TO BAKE!
this week was the first time I’ve ever made cinnamon rolls… it’s been fun!
I love to bake also…
Holy crap those are gorgeous!
hee!! thanks!
These look awesome!
I’m not great with yeast, but I am working on it
thank you!! I haven’t had much recent experience with yeast, but this has been a fun cinnamon roll week!
oh. my. goodness. i want one in my belly right now!
i am a fool for cinnamon rolls and these look delish:)
Thanks, Page! the cinnamon rolls are getting pretty FOOLISH around here with all my recipe testing!
Your pictures are awesome! I actually have never made cinnamon rolls. I need to get on that.
Thanks, Jessica!
ahhh….cinnamon rolls, it’s been too long!! i’m not much of a baker, but i often make cereal muffins with chocolate chips. i think muffins are my favourite food group. :p
I love muffins too! I’ve made a couple batches of these cinnamon rolls in muffin pans – I like them that way!!
I love to bake actually. I have never tried to make cinnamon rolls though. Those look good!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER !!
I heart baking, and my biggest reluctance in using yeasty doughs is that it takes an age… and if there’s a hiccup, you have to go back and do *hours* of work again!!
I made some GF pizza dough this afternoon—made the recipe 3 times before, and for some reason, this time it just wasn’t *behaving* right. Interestingly, usually I speed up the proofing with a low oven setting, and this time I did it in the sun… but the elasticity definitely comes out of a higher proofing temp, I think. So there were tears at threats, but no dice: she just didn’t want to be stretchy. I decided to go forward regardless and just hope for the best, but my baking perfectionism *definitely* woulda come to play if it were just a matter of re-mixing. Waiting through ANOTHER hour of rising, however, is out of the Q.
yes, yeast is a funny thing, I am finding… over the week I’ve made several batches of these… not all have turned out the same… it has been FUN though!!
oooooooooh I soooo want this recipe!!!
Hi Jessica! I will be posting soon…
I’m definitely more of a baker than a cook but I generally stick to un-yeasted goods. No real good reason, though. These look great!
it’s been fun to learn and play with! interesting too, because I bake a lot… yeast is a whole new ballgame!
DANG! You’re making me want to bake (and lick off the drizzle)…
yes, the drizzle is GOOD !
Uh… I’m kind of a ditz, but we have the same theme LMAO – we are soooooo connected
ha, Kris! YES we are!!
I love when I see that… hope you are having a great weekend!!
My favorite thing to bake is anything I can put in a muffin pan… I love the perfect portion control… for eggs, pumpkin muffins, cupcakes, any berry muffin, lentil loaf, and more.
that’s how I made this batch of cinnamon rolls !! I rolled them and baked them in muffin pans!
I LOVE to bake…but usually dont bake until I go home to visit my family…I dont like to have tons of goodies hanging around when its just me haha
I make a MEAN Carrot Cake however! Its my dad’s favorite…so I had to make it the best!! I think I might try to play with the recipe when Im back for the holidays to make it a bit healthier…aka…cut down the oil!!!
mmmmmmmmm
I try to bake when I can give away most of it!! I love carrot cake... I hope you blog about your recipe redo!!
I’m with Dairy Free Betty. Recipe please? The photo is mouthwatering.
thank you!! I’ll be sharing soon…
I could REALLY use a couple of these right now as I lazily sit on the couch after a night of too much salty Mexican food and drinks. Do you deliver? I’ll pay extra.
ah! I’ll be right over !!
yummmyyyyy! i’ve been wanting to create GF cinnamon rolls too!!
they’re really pretty good… turned out much better than I thought they would!
Kris these look awesome!! this is the recipe you just sent me!? I can’t wait to make them, I pictured them differently. these look PERFECT.
ha – they are indeed the ones.
how did you picture them!?? 
WOW THESE LOOK PERFECT!!
