"Just started making breads this year and found this great recipe. You will not be disappointed. Prep time does not include time for dough to rise. It varies but usually about an hour and a half total for both rises."

REALLY, REALLY NICE ROLLS, & worth making again & again! Loved the looks of them, the taste of them! Even enjoyed putting them together, although I'll admit that I gave myself a bit more room around the edges than the suggested 1 inch! Thanks so much for posting this great recipe!

These are delish! I will make them again, for sure. But next time I won't try outsmarting the recipe. I thought spreading jam on cream cheese would be inconvenient; so I mixed the two together & after looking into a bowl of pink goo I realized that part of the charm of these rolls is the contrast between the white & red. Too late, though. I also had too much filling to roll them properly & I felt like a lot of filling got squished out. DS helped me scoop extra filling on top of the rolls & into the spirals as much as possible after we put them in the muffin tin. I'm rating 5 stars even before I make it again because I don't think flavor was compromised by my ego.. only esthetic value. lol Thanks for sharing your wonderfully tasty recipe, Nimz! -
Fabulous little treat! I did have a bit of difficulty rolling it into the log. The filling didn't want to stay inside and I followed the directions closely. I make rolls quite regularly, so I was a bit surprised at it. However, it worked out in the end with a little tweaking. The end result is a lovely, tender morsel and the serving amount is just perfect! :) -
I love yeast recipes, this one was good although I ran out of strawberry jam so I had to use blueberry instead, I also reduced the amount of jam slightly, thanks for sharing Nimz!...Kitten:0 -
These tasted quite good, but I apparently don't have the hang of rolling them up, because most of the jam went all over my counter top. I will make these again with less jam, I think

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
