As I mentioned yesterday, I've had great luck with it when using my bread machine [Breadman Plus.] I use the exact amounts specified and I bring the milk to room temperature [by nuking it.] I put the ingredients in the machine, liquids first, dry next and after making a little "well" in the center, put the yeast in. Then I use the "dough" setting on the ABM. For the most part, afterwards, I follow the directions as listed, except for a few things. The machine does one rise on the dough setting; I assemble the rolls as directed, but let them rise again [after rolling, filling and cutting] on the baking pan. BTW, my rise method is to turn on the oven to 150 degrees for one minute, turn it off, then put the rolls in, covered with a PAM-coated damp towel. My friend, an expert Cinnamon Roll baker, also told me her "secret." Add more butter whenever and wherever you feel necessary.
