Greetings all,

I used two cinammon roll recipies and a hot cross buns recipe from SOAR to
figure out how one makes a dough, and then worked from there trying my best to
end up with cinammon rolls, no clue how I got bread from this.

What I Did -
1. prepped yeast
2. added milk
3. added 4 and a bit cups of all-purpose flour
4. added 3 tablespoons sugar
5. added 2 eggs
6. added 2 tablespoons cinammon
7. added 1 tablespoon ginger
8. waited 10 minutes
9. prepped more yeast
10. added to dough
11. added a bit more flour
12. floured hands
13. floured bowl again
14. floured hands again when trying to get sticky dough off of hands
15. added two handfuls of flour until consistency felt smooth
16. waited for rise
17. while waiting, warmed honey and mixed peanut butter with ginger, cinnamon,
and black pepper for filling.
18. rolled out on pan, using wine bottle for lack of rolling pin (this was after
trying to use roll of aluminum foil)[1]
19. spread filling
20. rolled up
21. For lack of other clean sharp knives cut with a big steak knife[2].
22. Put in oven at 300 for the length of time it takes to pack one box of books
and one telephone call with mom.  I'm guessing roughly 15 minutes.  At some
point during the phone call I got my flashlight and checked the oven[3].
23. Yummy sweet soft bread with nice floured outsides!
Ummmmmmm.......

[1] The grocery store didn't have any rolling pins for sale and I'm in the
process of starting a brand new kitchen so didn't have one . . . the wine bottle
worked pretty well.
[2] I haven't had properly working water at my old residence for over three
weeks, didn't have a whole lot of clean cutlery.
[3] The lightbulb in the kitchen burned out the day before I planned to move.  I
was not going to unpack and find a fresh lightbulb!
