Monday Morning Cinnamon Rolls

Looking to kick off the work week with style with the Monday morning cinnamon rolls. There was great rejoicing when the children figured out what we were making. I had to make a loaf of bread so of course I was going to use the Grandmother Bread.

Monday Morning Cinnamon RollsSometimes like Sunday evenings I go ahead and make the enough for two loaves. The difference is that once the bread has risen the first time then 1/2 gets put in a loaf pan. The other 1/2 gets turned into cinnamon rolls.
