Comments on: Nigella Lawson - Norwegian Cinnamon buns from How to be a Domestic Goddess http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/03/19/nigella-lawson-norwegian-cinnamon-buns-from-how-to-be-a-domestic-goddess/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

It was quite strong before it was cooked but milder once baked. It definitely didn't overpower the cinnamon. Perhaps it depends on what kind of yeast one uses i.e. dried versus fresh. I'm not sure of the differences, but I think the measurements required for each are different. Hi rama-I'm not at home at the moment but I used a tray approximately 35cms long and 25cms wide. There was some space at the end though of about 5cms. If you could find one slightly smaller that would be ideal. Hi smelly_cat-does the yeast smell remain after it’s baked?

What's the go? It overpowers even the cinnamon! Did you find a strong yeasty smell when you baked these? I just made these and whilst they LOOK great - they SMELL REALLY YEASTY! What’s the go?

Just don't worry if the dough is too sticky, just add more flour. I had to add in quite a bit more (about 1/2 cup or so) until it was the right texture-just don't want that to throw you :) Good to know I am not the only one that does that with the KA!

Lack a lot of confidence in yeast cooking, but they look too good to ignore. And yes, I also go into a trance watching my kitchenaid knead. Have decided to give these a go for a brunch I am having.

How disappointing! :( I use instant yeast by Lowan Whole Foods and its always been fine, everything has risen as it should. I'm not sure of the difference between active and instant dried but perhaps active needs to be treated differently? Perhaps try it with the instant dried yeast and see how you go. Its always been reliable for me. Hi Cheryl-Oh no, really? How disappointing! :( I use instant yeast by Lowan Whole Foods and its always been fine, everything has risen as it should.

I just tried baking these today but my dough didn't rise! they ended up becoming hard like rocks... any idea why? I used active yeast. would that be under easy blend yeast or fresh yeast? I'm soooo confused! thanks in advance!!! :) hello there! I just tried baking these today but my dough didn’t rise! they ended up becoming hard like rocks… any idea why?

I did it once (on a very light mixture) and it scared me a little so I avoid it wherever possible! Hi Maria-I almost get scared using my KA on a high setting.

Low to med seems to be the way to go Be careful with the KA and mixing dough, mine shook violently when it was on a high setting when mixing dough and it can go walk abouts.

Thankfully mine doesn't move when it kneads although I don't tend to put a lot of dough inside. Perhaps if its a really large amount or a hard dough, it might do that.
