Well, it’s still quarantine in Mexico, and sometimes it feels like there’s nothing left to do or try, but my mom always comes up with a new thing.

This time, cinnamon rolls were the goal since they’re one of my favorite desserts. First, we searched for the recipe and bought all the ingredients. I’m not going to lie, this is by far the hardest dessert I’ve ever baked, and it takes a lot of patience and time.

The hardest part for us was getting the yeast on point because we’ve never baked with it before; we succeeded on the fourth attempt. After all of that we followed the recipe just as we were supposed to; kneading the dough was also heavy because you have to do it several times before making it a roll.

The final outcome was really pleasant and delicious! I will try it again.
