Cinnamon rolls, compared

Make a table

Cinnamon rolls are the clearest case in the library for why total time is a poor summary: the number is dominated by proving, which is waiting rather than working. Where a recipe states a total at all it usually means the hands-on part, so treat the shorter times below as the more honest ones.

24 recipes in the library match this dish — the 20 below are a sample. Every figure is one the recipe itself stated; where a recipe said nothing, the cell is empty rather than filled in. Each row links to its table, and every table credits and links its source.
