Cinnamon Rolls 2

Finally I started a small bread baking class at my place. I was thinking to action something else about my bread baking. I started it on the weekend, twice or three times a month.

This is the first lessen, we made Cinnamon Rolls.
The class started with 2 people and me, in the small kitchen. It was first time to instruct how to make bread to other people.
I have written cinnamon roll recipe here, before.
But  I improved the recipe.

The shaping is inspired by the Japanese movie called '' Kamome Shokudo''.
This is the story about Japanese style cafeteria in Finland. The main actress was baking cinnamon rolls like those shapes.

I add more butter to make softer, and I put icing sugar to make sweeter.

This recipe is using bread mixer machine, but the lessen was kneading by hands.
