Critique:

        Cinnamon Roll  is a sweet Cinnamon flavored bread that is highly popular. Its is known for its perfect dough and the filling that is even more perfect and the Icing. I used the straight Dough method to make the Cinnamon Roll. Its primary ingredients are Flour, Sugar, cooking oil or butter and cinnamon, which provide a sweet flavor. It is most commonly eaten as a breakfast food.

      My Cinnamon Roll dough turned out well but i did not have enough filling inside the roll. Because of the filling not being enough the roll was a bit dry. the Roll itself was very soft and well done. The Icing was the perfect finish to the Roll. It gave it a sweet taste to the , not overwhelming but just right.  

       Preparing the dough took longer than any of the other steps. But i still think all that hard work is  worth the delightful Cinnamon Roll. I served the Cinnamon Rolls i had made to my family. Everyone found it to be a delicious Roll and it was all gone in one day. Making Cinnamon Rolls is a time consuming and very messy process but the result will be worth it.
