These are lovely, though I have to admit, you would need a more artistic person to bring them to their full potential. Mine look a bit odd, but taste fantastic. I made the dough with bread flour, and needed 1 cup less than the given amount. The rolls came out light and tender. I am very happy with the recipe. Thank you for sharing it with us. (I can also think of other possible fillings, such as candied orange peel and walnut, or something with cherries. -
This sounds great, I'm going to make it for Easter. Thank you!

I live in Minnesota, and actually like the winter more than summer! (Must have Siberian ancestors!)
The main focus of my life is, and always has been, children. I've spent the majority of my life either educating myself about children, having and raising children, or working with children. I presently work in an elementary school with children that have emotional/behavioral difficulties, and have three daughters of my own.
I also have four grandsons (one an extra gift that came when my daughter very wisely married his dad) and will become Grandma to the the 5th baby in June. This one a little girl! I can not wait!! I received so much joy being a mother that finding that much joy, and more, in being 'Grandma' has taken me by surprise. They are all the best gifts ever given to me.
Whatever free time I have is spent with my nose in a book, surfing the web for new recipes, or with my wonderful friends, both online and "in person".
