"Hi, my name is Kip and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. At this point we need to preheat our oven, take our cook sheet and prepare it and then cut our cinnamon roll log into actual cinnamon rolls and place them on the pan. We would want to take and preheat your oven to three hundred and seventy-five degrees. You want to get a dish or a cookie sheet or something that has fairly high sides because as the roll rises during baking it would tend to go over the edges if it does not have something to hold it in. Now in the commercial bakery we actually use something that looks very much like a cookie sheet it has a very small edge but then there is a fiber glass or I'm not sure what kind of material but it is kind of plasticly material frame that we put down inside that cookie sheet that gives it a wall or something for the cinnamon oil to lean against. You want to add some cookie spray or you can put some butter on the bottom. A lot of times I put the spray, put some butter on the bottom, put some more of the filling the cinnamon sugar mixture in the bottom. So when they are cooked you really have a lot of goo there but we would start with this. We may need to actually use one more can because my cinnamon rolls obviously quiet large so we might have to may cinnamon rolls for this one. The next thing we are going to do is actually to cut our cinnamon rolls, now this (I'm not even sure what they call this in a bakery I have used them forever) but it does not have a really sharp edge on it so we use this to actually cut dough without cutting our counter. You can use a knife but then you want to use the chopping block. Then just determine how long you want them to be I usually make them about a inch in a half to two inches long. Now I have seen people go along like this and get them all different heights because it is pretty hard to gage. You take your first one, set it next to it and then just use that as the gage and then you have some a little bit more consistency in uniform. As to making sure that all the cinnamon rolls are more or less the same. Of course the two end ones are usually the most different so we got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight so they would probably would all fit in this pan. So just take our pan and you want to have just a little bit or room between each you don't want to stick them too close together. So we are going to do a row of four and they got some room as you can see, a little space between and we are going to do another row of four so we would only need the one pan and this will fill up and come probably close to the top or a little bit over. So oh look a little piece of dough we can eat that raw. Now that we have done that all you have to do is put them in the oven for twenty-five minutes, check part way through because sometimes if they get too tight in here they middle spiral will poke up really high and you can just take a spatula and shove it right where it belongs. But at this point we are now ready to bake. "
