Ingredients
Dough

.2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

.2 teaspoons instant yeast

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, maple syrup, and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until slightly foamy.

2. Add melted butter (or coconut oil), vanilla, salt, and both flours. Mix until a soft dough forms.

3. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

5. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 30 x 20 cm (12 x 8 inches).

6. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.

7. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log.

8. Slice into 8–10 rolls and place them in a lined or lightly greased baking dish.

9. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

10. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden and cooked through.

11. Allow rolls to cool slightly before adding the optional glaze.

Some songs are written.

Others arrive when the heart finally finds the right words.

“Angela, Where Time Learns Your Name” is one of those songs.

It’s about the moment love stops being a feeling and becomes a certainty.

About the spaces between heartbeats.

About a name that changes how time itself feels.

This isn’t just a love song — it’s a story, a promise, a quiet forever.

Listen when the world is still.

NEW SONG RELEASE

Two Lights of Our World is finally here.

This song was written for our two daughters — for who they are, for who they are becoming, and for the light they bring into our lives every single day.

It’s about love without conditions.

Guidance without control.

And the hope that they will always stay true to their hearts, no matter how loud the world becomes.
If you’re a parent, or if you’ve ever been someone’s reason to keep going — this song is for you.

Listen now and let the music speak.

Share it with someone who is your light.

Introducing “Echoes in the Dark”

Some songs aren’t made for noise.

They’re made for the quiet moments — when the world slows down and your thoughts finally catch up with you.

“Echoes in the Dark” is a song about what remains after the lights fade.
About memories that don’t disappear, voices that still linger, and feelings that surface when everything else falls silent.

It’s for the nights when the dark feels heavy,
for the moments when you’re searching for meaning,
and for anyone who’s ever realized that even in darkness, something is still speaking.

This song doesn’t rush you.
It doesn’t explain everything.
It simply sits with you — and lets the echoes tell their story.

Listen when the world is quiet. Feel what stays behind. Find your own meaning in the dark.
