FREEZING Instructions:

  1. Prepare your cinnamon rolls as usual: Follow your cinnamon roll recipe all the way through to the baking step.
  2. Par-bake the cinnamon rolls: Instead of baking the cinnamon rolls for the entire time, just bake them partway (par-baking) for 10 to 15 minutes. The rolls should be raised and set, but not totally browned. A few touches of brown here and there are fine. Check your rolls after 10 minutes.
  3. Cool completely: Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool completely in the pan.
  4. Wrap and freeze: Wrap the pan in two layers of plastic wrap or place them into a large plastic bag and seal. Freeze for 8 hours or up to 6 weeks.
  5. Thaw in the refrigerator: The night before you want to serve the rolls, take them out of the freezer and place them, still wrapped, in the refrigerator. They will thaw overnight.
  6. Bake the rolls: The next morning, get up and preheat your oven to 350°F. Unwrap the cinnamon rolls and bake them until they are completely done and a light golden brown all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
  7. Frost and serve the rolls: If you are frosting your rolls, prepare the frosting according to your recipe instructions. Frost and proudly serve your fresh, hot, homemade cinnamon rolls to your loved ones, who will likely be circling the kitchen in anticipation at this point!
Recipe Notes:

The easiest pan to use here is one of those disposable aluminum foil pans. 
That way you won't tie up your 9" pan while it's holding the cinnamon buns in the freezer.

"Bon Appetit!"

  1. Although these were yummy I thought the dough was gummy and heavy
