Thanks for watching! You can get the printable recipe here melissaknorris.com/pioneer-homemade-christmas-day-6-chocolate-cinnamon-rolls/ Do you have a special recipe you make for Christmas day?

[@Julie-gc1pt]

I make Swedish Braided Coffeebread, my grandmothers recipe. I haven't been able to master a GF version of it yet so I wanted to try these rolls for my husband. Will 1 to 1 GF flour work for the dough on this recipe? They look scrumptious.

[@jenniferganey881]

I need a gluten free version of this deliciousness.

[@MelissaKNorris]

I've never tested it with GF so not sure if it will work or not

[@Simplyfarmhouse7]

Ms Melissa, any tips on how to keep brown sugar from hardening? I notice yours is kept in a glass jar. Thanks!

[@jennifermclean9413]

Did anyone else gasp when the butter spilled out of the big cast iron? I was like - OH NO!!!!! Wasting yummy buttery goodness on the towel! They also look so delish!

[@MelissaKNorris]

I did the same thing later when I realized it had spilled 😥

[@sarahale7214]

I do this EVERY time I flip mine 😂 I just assume I’m going to have to clean up at least a Tbls

[@ItsReallyCheryl]

I did the exact same thing! LOL

[@geeznogoodname]

I just made these today and KNEW I wasn't going to spill like that... guess what? :)

[@MrsKodman]

My 5 year old (yes, FIVE!) is obsessed with your channel, and so am I! We have been binge watching your videos and so far have started our sour dough starter, made three loaves of the no-knead artisan bread, and tonight we are making these cinnamon rolls with the other half of our dough! So excited!

[@carolinewarren6454]

These look great, something I’ve got to try. Don’t have any chocolate chips, but I think might try some nuts instead.

[@MrsTheClown]

Thank you for putting out so much valuable content. I don't always get a chance to comment (or even "like") your videos (toddler wrangling, ya know), but I enjoy them so much! And I do get to read every email- I can do that without waking sleepy sleepers. God bless you and yours! I'll be trying this variation in my next batch of cinnamon rolls.

[@MelissaKNorris]

I remember those days! Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!

[@idahopreps4242]

I have been making your artisan bread for a while. In fact, I made a loaf and some huckleberry butter for Christmas Eve (big hit). I made these cinnamon rolls for Christmas breakfast. So delicious and so easy with the make ahead bread dough.

[@wendybaryl6867]

Yay!!! No icing ❤makes me happy...thank you so much for sharing your time and talent ❤outstanding recipes 🎉🎉

[@pianosongbook]

OMG, love it! your channel is just fantastic

[@beccacunningham8296]

Started with the bread and used the rest for cinnamon rolls. Family loved them both. Thank you.

[@PrayerOpensDoor]

Wow, yum . I am just learning to bake and will be trying this soon. You make it look so easy, thank you . Love your channel, what an inspiration you are ❤️🇨🇦

[@wiolagiegiel]

I found it thank you ! I am going to make it tomorrow

[@lisareichow7667]

This is the second thing I made after the artisan bread & my kids can’t wait to make again 😅 seriously easy & delicious! Thanks so much!

[@leeannmillet8215]

[@tracyflenner]

They look delicious! Thank you for sharing all your great and valuable information.

[@MelissaKNorris]

You are so welcome!

[@tessmick3]

Melissa I love that you show us your method live like this, proving that you are human like we are! These look so good I can't stand it! I make a Christmas morning quiche each year, which for some reason always takes forever to bake ... but everyone loves it! Merry Christmas!

[@MelissaKNorris]

That sounds good too! Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@back2basics262]

I have always made cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning, but thinking I will try these this year. Thanks for sharing Melissa!

[@MelissaKNorris]

You are so welcome!

[@mpedmar9701]

Oh my goodness! These could get me in trouble..... LOL Thanks for sharing your recipe with us. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures .

[@glowindark64]

I've made your artisan loaf 5 times in a couple weeks! I do a half batch because I need a bigger bowl. Thank you so much for putting these up for free. I will definitely buy your book soon! Thank you -Robert

[@glowindark64]

I've made burger buns twice and the rest loaves. I'm never buying bread again thanks to you!

[@beerbuzz62]

Totally awesome video Melissa makes me feel at home and happy holidays to your family

[@MelissaKNorris]

Awe that means a lot! Happy holidays to you as well!

[@glowindark64]

I cant wait to make these! I might do caramel chips or shredded coconut instead of choc tho.

[@writersconference]

Thank you so much! I am looking forward to receiving your book in my mail box!

My family has been SPOILED with your easy prepare ahead bread recipe and for Easter morning we will have these rolls...thanks so much for sharing all of your time and knowledge...stay blessed

[@MelissaKNorris]

Very happy to hear this and Happy Easter to you and yours 😊

[@isabelladavis1363]

Well what can I say ,I got up at six wanting to surprise family it was a Hit!!! I didn’t have as much as I wanted left from my refrigerated artisan base so the roll was smaller so they weren’t as big around ...but.... the flavor I N C R E D I B L E ,sinfully delicious and a keeper for us! So happy I came across your site, guess I will be investing in HANDMADE TODAY...,HAPPY EASTER

[@wentzjudith3538]

I made them today but used walnuts not chocolate. They are good. The other 1/2 of the dough is baking in the over as bread! I love this recipe.

[@johnt8500]

YUM!

[@MelissaKNorris]

Let me know if you try them!

[@debbieschaefer332]

Can't wait to make these! I use dental floss to cut the dough. It is a bit easier to hang on to! 🙂

[@wendya1250]

Thanks Melissa they look so good! I make mine with raisins but I know my daughter would prefer the chocolate if I let her know that was an option lol. I use dental floss to cut.

[@MelissaKNorris]

Great idea!!

[@Just-Nikki]

Just press like, how hard is it! This woman consistently gives us useful content. Just do it.

[@MelissaKNorris]

thank you

[@pattynichols-farr5593]

I'm so excited I received my "Hand Made" book by Melissa! I was looking for the "Hand Made Apron" do you have that anywhere? I really enjoy learning and improving. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and knowledge.

Yummmy recIpe however, I have never left any food too long or overnight in cast iron. I find it gives the food a weird taste. I would however use stainless

[@MrWallinor]

[@londonpickering8675]

Take my money! Thanks for posting ;-)

[@MelissaKNorris]

You're welcome!

[@merideekaiel7969]

Cant wait to try it next week! Thank you. Do you happen to have a video for date filled cookies? I need help with finding a recipe...want one with a pocket for the date mixture...do you have one? video??

[@MelissaKNorris]

Sorry I don't have a recipe for those

[@Just-Nikki]

I just typed in date filled cookies and a ton of videos popped up and several look really good 😀

[@maryrykert-wolf1725]

The artisan bread doesn't have the eggs, butter, or sugar in the dough. Is that ok? Or are you supposed to add it in somewhere? Thanks

[@sayuricastro6360]

I don't have a cast iron pan, what can I use in lieu of that?

[@lpraja1665]

How many times eating in one day?

[@ka6148]

The rolls look like they may have over risen ?

[@sandraschlesinger5258]

Melissa.....When you make the cinnamon rolls and want to bake right away (not over night it) do you let the dough rise and for how long before baking?

[@caroletrottier6828]

I'd like to know that too!

[@robinhazeslip1800]

💖😋🙌

[@jacquelinelumbra2756]

Could you use maple syrup on bottom of pan?

[@MelissaKNorris]

Probably I haven't tried it

[@poohbear101]

Waxed dental floss works best for cutting raw dough

[@brennagibson9564]

Melissa, do you use Weck jars? Just curious.🎄🎄

[@MelissaKNorris]

I have a few for dry goods but I've never canned in them

[@katiekelley3984]

What brand and size is the container you keep the dough in the fridge in?

[@sandraschlesinger5258]

I noticed your comment is from a year ago...but if you pull her video up real close you can read the label and I bought these from Amazon. There are different sizes...I start with the large one ane after using half the dough I transfer to a smaller bowl (don't have much room in my frig. But just zoom her video up close to the bowl and read the label.

[@TheZamendo]

How large is your plastic bowl please? Great video!

[@MelissaKNorris]

8 quart

[@diannasmith5297]

Could you guide me where to purchase your bowl and sealing lid

[@paulamaurer8571]

Amazon

[@kingspal99]

rise... so, 175° turn off, let sit, unless they rose doubled, bake or, no refrig let rise then bake I 🤔

[@kenrnet6706]

Hi Melissa - I've made these now three times per the printable recipe. Each time I had to add more flour to get a dough consistency -- almost as those it has too much liquid. When you consider 2 cups of water and milk (combined), plus an egg and 1/2 cup butter -- the ratio of liquid to 3 3/4 c flour just seems off... Do I have the liquid portion wrong? Thanks!

[@MelissaKNorris]

Hi Karen, it looks when we added the printable card for the non master dough recipe, the liquid was in error, it should be 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk. I just got it updated. Sorry about that typo.

[@kenrnet6706]

@@MelissaKNorris Good to know, thanks Melissa! I found that if I added some flour, refrigerated the dough overnight, then next day it was easy to work with... just cooked at a slightly higher temp and watched it closely. Looking forward to the next time with less water. Blessings!

[@HerbalistMax]

That looks DELICIOUS! But, it's not Ketogenic! Waaah!

[@MelissaKNorris]

Yes, definitely a recipe to indulge on!
