We LOVED these. I did reduce the sugar slightly and I'm glad I did. Instead of the sesame seeds, I also did garlic and parmesan. In the dough I added some dried oregano and garlic powder (NOT salt). Instead of rolling it out and making strips to roll in the butter, I poured half the butter into the bottom of the pan, put the dough on top and spread it out to maybe 1/3 of an inch, poured the rest of the butter on top, sprinkled with seasonings (mixture of garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and a TINY bit of salt), then sprinkled parmesan cheese on top. I baked at 420 for about 12 minutes and they were perfect! The kids couldn't stop eating them. As I was waiting for the hubby to come home (and then eat his dinner), these sat in the kitchen calling my name!

Decreased suger to 2 1/4 c, increased cinnamon, and slightly decreased nutmeg... This was SO good! I can't imagine how sweet it would be with 3 c, but decreased it was wondeful, sweet, but not over-poweringly sweet. Just what I wanted to "toast" for the baby. Thanks so much for this recipe!

I can't give it 5 (though I want to!) because I changed it a little. OMG These are SO good! They were gone in less than 5 minutes, the kids and adults all loved them. I used 1 1/2 packets of yeast, 1 1/2 c water, a bit less than 1/2 c sugar, and 2 TBS melted butter in place of the veg oil... Oh and 4 1/2 c flour. They were incredible! I left some plain and the others I sprinkled with a mixture of parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and a tiny bit of black pepper (after brushing on melted butter when they came out of the baking soda bath). If you're thinking about it, YES TRY IT! I had no problems handling the dough and am not sure why others did. I followed another's advice and mixed the sugar, yeast, salt, and water at first. I added the melted butter, stirred, then added the flour.
