So.. since it was the same batch of dough, I guess it's in how ya bake 'em.<BR/><BR/>You MUST join us when we do the Cinnabon recipe. Yes?<BR/><BR/>I miss you already..

I have found that any yeast besides Fleischman's just does not work. I had some bread come out poorly and it was because I ran out of Fleishman's yeast.

It ended up in the trash after I ate all the cream puffs which were spectacular -- but I'd made those lots of times before. So I guess the message is to be afraid, be very afraid before our challenges? Hmmm...I'll keep that in mind. Except for me, if I'm freaked out, it doesn't work.
