You are an inspiration to the baking community! I love all of your baking tips and techniques, especially the videos. I have been trying to master the technique of decorating sugar cookies. To start with, getting the correct color of the icing is pretty hard when it comes to using reds. It would be awesome if you offered a master class on this (including a fee) via video, and also how to store your icings. Thank you for reading my comments.

Hi Cindy, are you using a thermometer to check the temperature of your liquid ingredients? Once you notice most of the yeast has dissolved in the warm butter/milk, you’re good to go. A few yeast granules float around the top a bit for us, but as long as it’s mostly all dissolved, you’re fine.

What am I doing wrong? The recipe tells me to add the yeast to the correct temperature liquid. I still get lumps.

This was not it. I knew as soon as the first rise didn’t happen that the second rise wouldn’t as well. I used the store overnight method and my rolls never doubled. I’m disappointed. I know yeast can be finicky. I temperature tested the milk and butter before adding and dissolving. Dough never rose. Disappointed as this was Christmas breakfast. Still cooked but ended up tossing. Used instant yeast hoping that would help since there wasn’t a bloom period. The other comments gave me hope it would work.

I’m so excited to get it of all the chefs and bakers I watch on YouTube and other sites. I am amazed at what Sally does. I’m excited to make her cinnamon rolls for Christmas. Thank you Sally for all the good advice.
