About Elyse Grau
Expertise
I can answer any questions about baking. The only thing I'm not too good at is baking pies, nor do I know much about high altitude baking.

Experience
I have been baking for over 30 years. One of my hobbies is creating recipes, most of those for baked goods. I made my own wedding cake. Currently I prefer to bake healthier things. I use a lot of whole wheat and other whole grain flours, and prefer to use less sugar or sugar substitutes in my baking. I do a lot with fruit.

Bread & Pastries - cinnamon rolls


Expert: Elyse Grau - 5/16/2009

Question
How can i make cinnamon rolls nice and soft? Also how can i make it so that they dont burn and turn hard on the bottom? I usually put aluminum foil on the tray then bake them. They always turn hard and i dont want to eat it.

Answer
Yuki:

The burnt hard bottom is due to the sugar in the filling. Leave about 1/2" uncovered on the bottom and top ends when you spread the filling. Brush the tops with a little milk before baking. If you are glazing them, do so while they are still warm (but not hot). Otherwise, you can brush the tops with more milk or some butter as soon as you take them out of the oven. You can also drape a cotton towel over the pan while they cool.
