Cinnamon Goop

A very important baking lesson was learned the hard way today: rapid rise yeast and active dry yeast are not the same thing.

Take note, if you use rapid rise instead of active dry, and you prep the yeast (let it sit in water for 5-10 minutes), your dough will not rise. At all. So don't even think about trying it.

Instead of cinnamon rolls, I now have cinnamon dough goop. I am going to try to cook it anyway.

Update: I ended up putting some of the dough in a muffin tin, some in a springform pan. The muffin tins ended up like really dense, cinnamon-sugar rolls/muffins/bread. The springform pan looks like a swirly, dense coffeecake/bread. Actually, maybe they are more like scones.... oh well.
