My cinnamon roll win after learning to wait

I always rushed my cinnamon rolls before, and they were always tough. Last week, I decided to try a slow rise. I put the dough in the fridge for a whole night. In the morning, it was puffy and easy to work with. I shaped the rolls and let them sit out for three hours. They got big and soft before I baked them. The result was the best batch I've ever had, with light and flavorful rolls. Taking my time with the rise really paid off.

Seriously, three hours just sitting out? That sounds like forever to wait. But fluffy rolls are totally worth the hassle.

I tried making brioche once, and the dough had to rise for like three and a half hours. I mean, I just sat there watching TV, but every time I checked, it seemed like nothing was happening. But when they came out of the oven, all golden and fluffy, idk, it was totally worth the wait. Now I make them every other weekend, even with the long rise time.

My friend told me she puts her brioche dough in the fridge overnight for a slow rise. Might be easier than watching it for hours, @hunt.kevin. Have you tried that?
