Volume 7 Chapter 38: Cinnamon Roll!

Keith walked over to the rolls and took off the towel. What the group saw was a giant mound of pillows.

"Even after I saw you make bread, this still surprises me." The power of yeast was incredible. It made these rolls increase in size in a matter of minutes.

"It'll become even bigger after we bake it. And it seems that the bread is finished as well." Keith and Diana started to sniff the air. The aroma of garlic and butter filled the air; it was ready. A grin formed as Keith walked over to the oven and took them out.

"It's so fragrant and aromatic."

"Mmhmm. Butter and garlic are really fragrant." Baking them together would only enhance it.

"Here, try it out." Handing the piece over to them, the three took a bite. It was interesting.

"I like the taste. The flavors aren't that strong. I think I could eat this all the time."

"Hoo."

"Mmhmm." Despite its strong aroma, the taste was gentle and mild for everyone to eat. It was an intriguing combination.

"Also, what are you going to do with that bread?" Garlic bread wasn't the only thing taken out from the oven; there were also these small buns.

"Ahh. For those, I'm going to fill them up with cream. They're going to be called cream bread." Making the cream for the bread was simple. He mixed some cream and sugar together. But he added some vanilla to it as well. Knowing how it worked, it would be a shame not to use it.

With a slight lick,

"Delicious." Keith started to fill them up with cream. As he was going to hand the bread over to them,

"What are you guys doing?" The three turned to see Scarlet by the door. The girl was still in her pajamas; clearly, she just woke up as she rubbed her eyes.

Blinking a few times, Scarlet glanced at what the two held in their hands,

"Ah, are you guys-" Keith placed his finger on her lips before the girl could speak, "Do not say a word!" He had to silence her; if the girl screamed, the others would definitely come here.

And he would be hounded like no tomorrow. Time was required.

"..." Scarlet nodded as she understood what he was saying.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Do you want to try it out? I just finished the second bread."

"Mmhmm." Scarlet quickly nodded. She wasn't going to say no. Keith handed the cream bread over. As the four munched on it, they couldn't help but savor the taste.

"This has such a light and subtle sweetness!" The sweetness was really light. And yet, there was this hint of sharpness that caused her to eat more.

That vanilla juice is definitely a secret weapon. Keith grinned. It would definitely enhance any sweet food he baked.

"By the way, Keith. What are you making in the oven?" Scarlet pointed at the two ovens. They were still baking.

"Oh, there's still two more things that we need to try."

"....Two more?" Scarlet gulped as she was eager. Diana was also curious about them as well.

Scarlet quickly shook her head to get out of the funk, "We should call everyone down."

"Eh?"

"I heard Herrick and Leona groaning. They're going to wake up any minute now from the aroma." Sounds came from the two's bedroom as she headed down. It was only a matter of minutes before they would wake up from the aroma.

"Good point." Keith nodded as he quickly headed to their bedrooms.

"Then I will go wake up Udine and Nephele." Diana knew those two would be uppity about it.

"Woohoo! New bread!" It didn't take a minute after Keith left as Herrick and Melor quickly dashed to the kitchen. They were still in their pajamas. Soon came the others; they were all wearing pajamas.

"What did you bake this time, Keith?" Nephele quickly questioned. Her body swayed back and forth in excitement.

"Two are baking right now. But these two are good to go." Keith pointed at the garlic bread and cream bread.

"This one is sweet, and this one is savory." The girls quickly grabbed the cream bread while Herrick and the rest grabbed the garlic bread. They had the same reaction as Keith and the two.

"You can turn green garlic into this?" Alfia was intrigued by the change in taste.

"There's also something else we have to try." It's ready. From the smell alone, it was done. Taking it out of the oven, the others were mesmerized.

"Which one is that?!"

"This is a rolled bread with sliced smoked orc, green garlic, and onion inside." Keith grinned. It was loaded with ingredients.

"Ohooo!" Herrick's body was slowly shifting forward.

"I'm going to slice it." There was a crackling sound as the knife went through the outer layer! That was how crisp the bread was.

"Everyone, go ahead and try." Keith raised his hand, gesturing for them to dig in.

"Every time I chew, there's a different flavor!"

"The onions are so nice, and the orc meat is also there!"

"Guys, don't forget there's one more thing." Keith grinned. It was not the end.

Aidiun chuckled, "You really made a lot today."

"Here it is, cinnamon rolls!" What Keith took out next from the oven was a puffy pillow bread. But he wasn't done. The next thing was the cream cheese glaze. As he drizzled it onto the food, the others could stare at it with hopeful eyes.

"!" Leona's nose twitched. How fragrant.

"Alright, we can try it." Keith handed the cinnamon rolls over to them. And when they took a bite, the first thing they thought about was a cloud. They were sent flying into the sky from the sweetness and softness of the rolls.

"This is sweet and tangy at the same time!"

"How could it be so sweet?"

"I want another one." Udine tugged on Keith's shirt.

"Eh?"

"Same here!"

One by one, the girls finished their cinnamon rolls.

Are you kidding me? How did you guys finish it so quickly? Those things were the size of a fist! Heck, even Herrick and Melor weren't done with it! That was saying something!

"We wanted more." Alfia didn't hesitate as she took a bite of another roll.

“…”

"So, do you think these four will be a hit for the bakery?" Keith grinned.

"Of course!"

"The cinnamon rolls are definitely going to be a hit!"

"I'm definitely going to go there and buy it!"

"What about the cream cheese?" Sarah asked.

"Ahh, that's going to be for White Owl. Maybe I should tell my family how to make it as well." This would definitely be something they would want.

"That would be so interesting."
