I happened to be watching more reruns of Good Eats. The episode I caught was “House of the Rising Bun”, in which Alton Brown laid out the process for making cinnamon rolls and ginger citrus rolls. I had never made cinnamon rolls before. I therefore decided to try my hand at his recipe.

Alton’s recipe for the cinnamon rolls can be found here. The ginger citrus rolls recipe is posted here.

These turned out really well! The dough making process was relatively simple, the forming of the rolls was fun, and I enjoyed the end product. The time commitment is a little greater for these that other baked goods (they are, after all, labeled “overnight” rolls) but if you plan ahead, I’d say they are well worth the effort.
