Food Friday - 1-Hour Cinnamon Rolls

Baking homemade bread usually takes several hours and so hasn't been on our list of regular things to make in the kitchen.  

But, my son and I decided to try our hand at a new recipe for Orange Cinnamon Rolls that claimed it only took 1 hour.  

At that short of time - it tempted us enough to try...
