Failure turned great

I learned a very hard lesson yesterday, always check for ingredients before baking. Last time I made that mistake I was 16. At least its not a mistake I make often.

I ran out of white flour. It wasn't that big of a deal, but when you have yeast that has already been proofed then you kind of have to rush. I ended up just using wheat flour for the rest of it.

Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
Recipe from Vegan Yum Yum. (Although I did change a few things)

Yeast Mixture
4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
1 tsp Sugar
1 Cup Warm Water

Dough
1 Cup Almond Milk
2/3 Cup Sugar
2/3 Cup Best Life Butter, melted
2 tsp Salt
2 Ener-g Egg Replacer Eggs, prepared, optional
Yeast Mixture, from above
About 4 cups white flour
About 2 cups wheat flour

Dough Filling
1/2 Cup Best Life Butter, melted
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
3 Tbs Cinnamon

Icing
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp almond milk

Combine yeast mixture and set aside to proof.

In bread machine add melted butter, almond milk, salt, egg replacer, and sugar. Once yeast is proofed add to bread machine. Now add the flour until the dough is no longer sticky but not falling apart. Here is where my oops moment comes in. It is supposed to be 6 cups of white flour but I forgot to check to make sure we had all of the flour. Luckily we had wheat flour that I could use. You can bet I'll always check for flour now before baking!

Before flour.

With a little flour.

Now just let it rise.

Once it has risen, roll it out.

Now spread melted butter all over the dough.

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.

Now its time to roll it up.

It is going to make 12 rolls. So cut it in half, then cut the halves in half. Which will make 4 sections. Cut each of those sections into 3. The easiest way to cut them is with thread or dental floss, just run underneath it, cross it and pull.

Coat 2- 13X9 pans with butter and place the cinnamon rolls in them. Two rows of three. Cover and let rise overnight in the fridge.

Next Morning

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Right out of the fridge.

Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. While rolls are baking make icing. Just combine powdered sugar and milk. It will be pretty difficult to stir but it'll get there.

Put icing on cinnamon rolls and enjoy!

They actually turned out great. I was nervous that with the wheat flour they wouldn't taste as good but they were still amazing!!! Definitely worth it.
