It's Time to Dig in!

Last Friday late afternoon, I made sure not to forget to buy a pack of pecan nuts at the grocery store. I have been wanting to bake sticky cinnamon pecan buns for a long time.

And yes! This will be my first time making this. I made monkey bread many years ago, but I didn't make the dough for that one, and I find it too sweet. The dough wasn't as soft as I wanted it to be.  This time, I already know by heart how to make the dough from scratch.

I planned on starting the dough right after dinner but I almost forgot about that plan. I was catching up with three of my beautiful close girlfriends from college---Yvette, Annaj, and Dali via Facebook messenger.

I started making the dough 15 minutes past 10 pm, and finished it half hour past 1 am.

This was my Sticky Cinnamon Pecan Buns.



I shared a couple of photos of this on my Instagram account, and captioned it,

"I honestly regretted baking bread late at night. Should I wait for the morning latte or dig in now?" #homebaking #homebaker #foryoureyesonly

Of course, I held myself from having a piece. I went up to bed after I was done baking.

By morning, the mister woke me up. He was acting as if he was in a hurry.

"Let's go!" he told me while I was still cozying up under the cover.

"Ha?" It's the weekend, and still wanting to stay in bed. I felt him sitting at the side of my bed.

"LET'S GO!" He said it louder this time, while softly patting my left thigh.

"To where?"

"It's time to dig in!"

"Dig in what?"

"You forgot? It's time to dig in!"

He stood up, and headed out the door.

"I'll start making latte." Then he closed the door behind him.

Oh yeah! After I heard the latte part, I knew I was completely awake.

He told me that when he saw my new post on Instagram, he got up and woke me up.

The dig in!



Guess what!? It passed the taste test!

The mister finished the last 2 pieces the following day.



On Sunday evening, I made another batch of bread.

This was Monday morning.



We mostly have homemade bread with our coffee in the morning especially on work or school days. As much as  possible, I find time to make them because it's therapeutic for me. It's my kind of a stress reliever. It makes me happy.

Until next post, and hey, I heart you for stopping by. Good night and good morning!

P.S. I just pulled a tray full of freshly baked Moringa pan de sal out of the even. It's 12:05 am. Got to go! It's time to catch some Zzzzz! :)
