I just love that title of an article by thekitchn.com. It completely sums up my approach to yeast. Believe me, I've had my moments of, 

"Oh come on! It can't be that hard. Last time must have just been a fluke!"only to have cinnamon rolls, rolls, or bread turn out 

completely flat. Reading the phrase" let the yeast germinate" throws me into a panic! What does that even mean!?

I know what it means, but for some reason I always second guess myself when it comes to the subject of yeast and have 

created a timid and terrified approach every time it's mentioned. Well, not this time! Thanks to a friend of mine who 

found this recipe online I have gained confidence! These are the yummy looking rolls featured in my post from Easter. :) 

Just for you, Dad!

This double quick recipe is super easy and takes hardly any time at all! Enjoy!
