Mealtime Memories
This is the ultimate Christmas meal for my family! The tradition started with my grandma, as a young newlywed with very little means to give gifts to her friends and family. She loved baking cinnamon rolls, but wanted to make them a little fancier. So she cut almost all the way through and connected the ends making a ring. She called them sunshine rings because who doesn’t feel happy when they see one!
I love baking bread and this recipe makes that love for baking multiply. I feel like the most intimidating part of bread-making is yeast and this recipe is literally a dump and mix. You can not fail! I place all of the ingredients into my Bosch and turn it on and off a few times and then roll out the dough. It is so simple, you will wonder why you ever bought it at the store.
If there is a recipe that defines my family it would be this one. There is no recipe that is used or requested as often as these crescent rolls. In fact it is very rare to attend any family function and not see these rolls made by some aunt, cousin, mom or myself. They are the very best!
