Swedish Cinnamon Buns

What level of lazy is preheating the oven from the comfort of my bed?  I wish I was  asking for a friend. 😂 Last January we starting dreaming about and planning a kitchen remodel.   One of my biggest priorities was adding a second oven.  Nothing fancy or specific - just a means of making my baking process more efficient.  I ended up ordering a wall oven that has a learning capacity greater than my own.   😅

Either my appliances are getting smarter or I'm getting dumber.  This oven has as app that connects to my phone so that I can preheat, set the timer and even scan the barcode on a bag of chicken nuggets and the oven will set itself to the precise cooking time and temperature.  😯

When I first learned about all of the fancy dancy features on this oven - I swore that I would never use them.  My intent was to use it to bake - not to create science experiments in this machine.😅  I guess I failed to see the NEED to have my oven connected to my phone.  And then I woke up one morning, dreading the thought of getting out of bed to preheat the oven to bake a batch of cinnamon rolls.  That is the moment that it dawned on me.  🤣 Preheating the oven from the comfort of my bed is the reason thatt evey oven should have a phone app.  🙃

Did I mention that this oven also has a proofing setting?  In a nutshell - proofing is what you do to yeast dough to get it to rise before you bake it.  Proofing cinnamon rolls is key to getting that nice soft, fluffy texture.  And now that I can preheat my oven from the comfort of my bed and proof them in my oven, there's really no excuse NOT to make cinnamon rolls at least once a week. 😅

Swedish Cinnamon Rolls are amazing.  The soft cardamom dough and the sweet, buttery cinnamon filling is the most amazing combination.  And a steaming cup of cinnamon spice tea was the perfect compliment to this delicious roll.  

Don't get overwhelmed by the amount of steps in this recipe.  I tried to break everything down to simplify the process but I'm afraid that the lengthy instructions might be intimidating to some.  Don't worry though - I got you.  The pictures will help and if you need along the way - email me with questions.

Swedish Cinnamon Rolls require a commitment in time.  These rolls actually proof twice.  Once is a cold proof - in the refrigerator and the second is a warm proof in the oven.  If your oven doesn't have a proofing setting - don't ;et that stop you from making these delicious breakfast rolls.  Cover the rolls with a towel and put them in a warm place in the house to rise.   My favorite spots are on top of the dryer while it's running or above the dishwasher while it's warm.
