because my first batch were not satisfactory, i made a second batch, this time using a recipe that boasts to be a copycat of the cinnabon recipe. i was already salivating, i even used the more expensive bread flour that the recipe called for, instead of the usual all-purpose. and dang, it didn’t work. i had rolls that were as hard as stones; the dough didn’t rise.

huh? what went wrong? i had to find out so i tried it again. and failed again. maybe third time lucky? i made yet another batch last night, the third in about 24 hours, and when i brought them out of the oven at half past midnight, they went straight to the bin. dang.

now if there’s one thing i learned in my years of doing experimental research, it’s that it takes many many trials to perfect a protocol. i just had to give it another go… until i find out what’s wrong. and today, following a slightly different recipe, my efforts paid off:

null

yummy! an antidote to even the best diet pills. and no, i don’t think there was anything wrong with the other recipe. i think the yeast i used were just half dead.
