I am making cinnamon buns from scratch. I made up the dough, it said to let it sit for 1 1/2 hrs to to double in size...well after an hour and 40 mins it didn't rise, should I throw it out and start over or is it salvageable?? Thanks

with these cinnamon rolls, do NOT
give up!
You might try sitting your dough
someplace warm. It may take a
while but it may raise a little
more. Make sure you cover it with
a towel too.
Next time make sure you don't knead
it to long. I did that when I started
and it wouldn't raise very much.
Another cause is getting the water
to hot. Warm to the touch of your
fingertips is a good rule of thumb.
If it calls for punching it down
again, do that. Put it in a warm
place and see if it will raise.
If it does, but not much, go ahead
and make your rolls. They will
still taste good, just not as light.
You could also just roll the dough out,
cut it in strips and make cinnamon
bread sticks instead.
