I used a cup and a half, and that was about right. I also baked them at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Because it&#8217;s a crust and not a bread it doesn&#8217;t turn brown like cinnamon rolls do. Critique from the expert also notes that the roll should be much tighter than the one I did.<\/p>\n<p>Part of her happy memories was the mess that was created and that if you made them right you&#8217;d be covered with flour at the end.
