| - Living in the neighborhood, I thought "Those must be some epic cinnamon rolls" for Homie's to be going toe-to-toe with another famous local bakery just down the street. So Saturday morning, the hubby and I stopped in for a quick sweet treat. A single worker ran the front of the very large storefront & dining area; truly, if you and 70 of your closest friends wanted to dine on breakfast food simultaneously, Homies has the square footage. Cleanly appointed and remodeled, you'd never even know this was once the footprint of the famed Dive Bar. Two minutes after ordering the pecan cinnamon roll and the Awesome Apple cinnamon roll, we received our warm treats in individual clear clamshell containers for our 1 minute drive home. Those 3 minutes of anticipation were heaven scent - couldn't help myself, lol - these are the best smelling cinnamon rolls I've ever encountered. Not even bothering with a fork, I popped open that lid and began unwinding my Awesome Apple roll. Bite after bite I savored the bold cinnamon baked into the dough, the balanced sweetness of the glaze, the toothy tenderness of the roasted apple pieces. My husband and I traded pieces; he really liked the pecan roll, but I thought it needed more pecans. Still, I liked the texture, and it had the same lovely, balanced cinnamon profile as the apple.
These are good-sized cinnamon rolls, I was getting full. Still, I looked forward to the best part of ANY cinnamon roll... The middle. But there was a problem. The entire core of my roll - a solid 1-1.5 inches in diameter - was raw. Not squishy, not undercooked... That dough was raw. You could smell the yeast and the cinnamon was no longer part of a pastry... It was a painted on layer of spice I could swipe off of the wet dough with my finger. I even tried nibbling at the dough but couldn't bring myself to eat it. Instead, I licked off the glaze and pouted that the best part was ruined. Luckily I had a hero willing to share the middle of his roll with me, but while his roll was not as raw as mine, his was still undercooked. I passed, and although he ate it, he eats a lot of questionable stuff.
Damn, Homie's... Your recipe is really tasty, and your prices are really fair, but both of those qualities are ruined by raw, inedible dough. I'm sure if we'd been eating in the restaurant and pointed it out, your super nice staffperson would've taken care of it for us but alas, we took ours to go. Being that you're literally the closest food joint to our home and you open so early, we will likely try your food again, but I'll probably try something other than your cinnamon rolls. This makes me feel sad, because that's supposed to be your specialty.
