3/20/11 Used a sponge this morning to make the Joy of Cooking Scandinavian pastry for some cinnamon rolls for this afternoon. I need to go get some ingredients, but I will do that as the dough rises. It is a good recipe that gives a very nice pastry.
- 2 eggs, beaten and stirred into the baby sponge
- 4 cups of flour sifted with
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbs Sugar
- 1/2 cup butter cut in
The recipe calls for Cardamom seeds or ground cardamom, but the cinnamon roll recipe says to leave it out. I left it out since I do not have any at the moment, but I think I want to include it next time. One think I have learned from Brad is to get the dough a lot flatter, and once it is rolled up to put the cut slices into a rectangular pan instead of the muffin tin I have been using. I ended up getting a great roll, good fillings and filled a glass rectangular dish. They rose nicely and I put them in the oven. The pan sides were fairly high and as it baked, it did not brown well, so I kept them in the oven, big mistake. They looked great, but were way overdone, kind of hard. I did have a few, but I ended up taking Jan's advice and tossing most of them because they were rock like. I did not even take pictures this time.
