  2. I love both brioche dough recipes (the one in ABin5 and in HBin5. My husband begs for the cinnamon rolls, and we've made crescents with various fillings. The doughnuts are also magnificent -- and so quick to make since they don't require any resting time. Your rolls are stunning!

  4. Ok, You win. Your non-healthy breads look (and I'm sure taste) much better than the ones I made. Mine were good but I'll trade you straight across any day.

  10. After bumping my head on the computer screen several times I realized that those caramel rolls were just a photo. I guess I'll have to take my poor bruised forehead to the kitchen and bake my own.
    They look maaarvelous!
