The cookbook, The Cottagecore Baking Book by Kayla Lobermeier, has become one of my favorite cookbooks for baking traditional style breads and baked treats.

The recipe I use is called Cinnamon Star Bread with Eggnog Icing. I liked the recipe because it didn’t use a tangzhog, which is used as a starter for many cinnamon roll recipes I found.

I wanted to learn how to use a recipe that is more “traditional”. This is why I was so drawn to the Cinnamon Star Bread recipe.

Last year, I decided to give using the recipe to not make a Star Bread, but instead cinnamon rolls. I decided to photograph my progress, but I waited until this fall to write a post about it.
