After 5 minutes it starts to get dry looking, and by 5-1/2 minutes it's over mixed.<br /><br />The King Arthur website has half a dozen recipes for "cinnamon rolls", along with sticky buns, sweet breads and other delicacies. drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-83901153128641305272020-01-06T10:46:25.767-08:002020-01-06T10:46:25.767-08:00Yes they are.

If you need one, I can send you one from my 1956 Betty Crocker, as it's the one I've used for over 30 years.<br /><br />Using the mixer, the point to stop is when the dough is grabbed by the paddle and stops futzing with the side of the bowl. After that, scrape out any remains, then knead the scrapings into the dough until everything is incorporated.<br /><br />Bread is really an art. Once you get the feel and the smell of correctness, it's hard to go wrong.
