Princess Leia Danish Dos
September 12, 2009We are starting at the front of the cookbook and working our way to the end.
The first recipe in the breakfast section is Princess Leia Danish Dos, which are actually homemade cinnamon rolls designed to look like Princess Leia’s hairdo.
We gathered our wet and dry ingredients and left the pizza crust in the fridge until we needed it…
Jacob preheated the oven with Daddy’s help
We spread melted butter and cinnamon sugar on the pizza crust, then cut them into rolls and put them in the oven to bake.
Twenty minutes later, we had cinnamony, sugary, golden brown goodness…
We whipped up some frosting out of milk, confectioners sugar and vanilla extract and then breakfast was served!
Skill level: Easy
Outcome: The kids like these and each of them had 3 or 4 for breakfast. I wish the frosting had been a bit less liquidy. I ended up spooning it over the rolls instead of spreading it with a knife as indicated in the instructions. I took a couple of small bites and Hubby tried them too. We agreed that they were better with the frosting on them; otherwise they seemed a bit dry. We used a 13 oz. pizza crust instead of a 10 oz. and ended up with 15 rolls.

Congrats on the new family blog! What a fun project to do with your boys.
I love that you’re blogging this! I’ll keep checking in.
Hi Shayne – we have this cookbook too. My kids LOVE it. What a wonderful idea to work through the book. I’ll be watching with great interest as you try them all and see what your boys like. So far the twin sun toast, tie-fighters and jedi juice pops have been favourites in our house but we have skipped alot.
Hi Werona!! I’m glad you stopped by! We are having fun cooking these recipes. And because we’ve decided to make every recipe, the boys are trying some things they probably otherwise would not have eaten–gotta love that!
