free for heal or religious reasons. i created an entire book of dairy-free desserts. >> what kind of reception are you getting from the kosher community? >> from the kosher community they are happy to have more interesting desserts. many kosher bakeries are still serving the same recipes that i had when i was a kid. we will first make the dough. cinnamon buns are easier to make than you think. the dough is warm soy milk, yeast and a little sugar and wait about ten minutes until that thickens and bubbles and then all you do is add sugar, flour, eggs, dairy-free margin and oil, mix that together and let it rise for an hour until it gets spongy like this. and that's what the dough looks like when it's been risen for an hour and then to make the filling it's simple. we have very soft dairy-free margarine to which we will add. >> that's margarine, not butter. >> that -- brown sugar and cinnamon and we mix it up together. >> no butter? >> no butder and no milk.

>> you fooled me. when you taste them you wouldn't know. and that was my goldthwait book was to come up with desserts that people wouldn't know were dairy-free. >> are they a little lower in calorie because of the changes? >> not necessarily. but for recipes which i could substitute oil for margarine i did and i try to take out as much sugar as i can while still keeping the taste really good. and i know a lot of people are afraid of making dessert with -- yeast dough, it bubbles and thickens after about ten minutes your dough will rise and your dessert will be great. >> don't be scared. people are really afraid to bake. >> i know. >> secret to baking is just follow the directions. >> thank you. >> don't try to improvise. if you have the ingredients in stock, don't go further then get it. >> roll out our dough. it's nice and spongy and put it on a two foot piece of parchment paper that's been

sprinkled with margin. i will add a little flour here and roll out all my cookie, pie on parchment paper because it doesn't stick and makes it easier to clean up. and then you can turn it as you are working and roll it in different directions. you can roll the dough about as big as the parchment paper and then we will spread our filling on top. >> i thought it was cute, paula said in the break that her husband is so tired of these cinnamon rolls she has been making them for weeks now, getting them right. >> he lost a lot of weight after i finished the book so he doesn't want temptations around the howses. >> you are a lucky man, homemade cinnamon rolls. the smell in your house. >> he knows cinnamon buns are my favorite desserts in the book. now we will spread the filling and you can help me with that. spread it across the entire dough all the way to the edges. >> we will go all over it. >> all the way. and really nothing makes your house smell better than when these are baking. >> nothing. >> really. >> i don't know we will have --

>> -- >> enough time to do all of this. >> let me show everybody how we will roll it up. all the way to edges and this is simple. >> she got it. baking is practice. >> have i four kids. i learn to do everything quickly. roll this all the way up into a big log. and then you will take a big knife and it's very simple and cut these into one inch pieces and you will see. >> put them in and bake them. >> see that you have them in and put them swirl side up. >> and here is the finished baking product here in the pan. >> really simple glaze. which all it is powdered sugar, boiling watt and vanilla and is withic that together. you can't do this wrong. if it gets too thick add water or too thin add more powdered sugar. then swirl these all around the buns and there is no rules for this. though if you are working with small kids you don't want them to do this too quickly because you could get -- >> can we eat those when you
