I love making cinnamon rolls or different styles of homemade rolls! So many steps and layers but I the end result is worth it and more every time. :)

I think the waiting is really lovely. The way that it's built into so many forms of baking, whether you're waiting for something to rise, or for sweets to come out of the oven, it's a forced pause.

You can't rush a good thing!

Sifting your dry ingredients. Love how much easier it makes mixing up dough by hand.

Leveling dry ingredients before dumping into the bowl. I should learn how to measure using weight...

I like the washing up. A clean sink and a pile of clean bowls and utensils.

I love the transformation that butter has when it’s creamed for several minutes. I’ve been baking since my teen years but it’s only been in my late 30s that I’m embracing a nice light fluffy butter (and like the other commenter said, the magic in the waiting!)
