Alright, I have many recipes, but as soon as my rolls are done baking, they become hard! I'm an experienced baker, so I know what to look for, but somehow I can't figure out why they turn out hard.. And also, if I only wanted to bake a few, can I cut the rest up and then freeze them? Will the freezing affect the texture of the rolls? And if i can freeze them, what do I do when I take them out of the freezer?

@RoseLNguyen my book says that if the bread dries quickly & has coarse texture it rose too quickly - temperature too high. Maybe overbaking too? Yes, you can shape & freeze the rest. I'd thaw overnight in the fridge then bake off as usual after 2nd rising (but I've never done that - I just bake all and freeze prepared bread then reheat in oven or micro). good luck!

Hi Angie, how did you measure out your flour? Sorry, I'm one of those people who are really specific about the way a baker measures the flour, whether it be spooning it in and leveling it off, or sift and then measure, or measure and then sift, etc. Please tell me how!

@RoseLNguyen hi! the proper way is to scoop flour into the dry measuring cup and then level off. I usually VERY gently scoop to the side (because I have a big flour container) and level (so as not to compact the flour). Hope that helps.

@RoseLNguyen P.S. And I don't sift. If I have to combine dry ingredients I will use a whisk to combine.

OMG!The recipe turned out amazing!It really took me some time of waiting after each of the procedures,but it was totally worth it.I had tried many cinnamon buns recipes,even the ones with the "the best" headlines,but they were not satisfying at all.This one finally is THE BEST!!!! Thanks a lot!!!! :D

@info21ful Not dumb at all! AP flour is just a regular flour suitable for most baking, also known as plain flour. It has no leavening agents. Unless a recipe specifies cake flour I always just use AP flour - I try to get the unbleached variety. Hope that helps...
