Just a note to say that I made my second batch today (which were greedily consumed by our friends at a pre-Thanksgiving feast).
I tried the suggestion about increasing by 50% since I have 9" pans, and it worked well, the only issue being that the first rise took well over 90 minutes. I did keep the yeast at 2 teaspoons, so that might have been part of the issue. The second rise seemed normal, but I did it in a warm oven.
Regardless, they came out great and I'm looking forward to making them again on Thursday :)
