Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls Recipe (Tips For Success)

Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls are the best frozen cinnamon rolls for making proof and bake cinnamon rolls for breakfast or brunch without the work of a traditional cinnamon roll.

If you are a fan of Rhodes Rolls you will be adding a bag of their cinnamon rolls to your cart on your net grocery trip.

Here is why frozen Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls are amazing:

• Everything is in one bag! Cinnamon rolls AND 2 tubes of cream cheese icing.
• No need to fuss with yeast and kneading the dough. Just proof and bake.
• Make one or make 12. Have fresh cinnamon rolls every morning if you want!

Ingredients needed:

• Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls - found in the frozen section of your grocery store. The icing is even included!

How to make Frozen Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls

There are three different methods of making Rhodes Cinnamon rolls. The regular thaw method, refrigerator thaw method, and the speed thaw method. A thawing method if you have a few hours or overnight to bake off your rolls.

Refrigerator that method

This is my preferred method for making Rhodes Cinnamon rolls. I place them in the 9 x 13 pan and cover them, placing them in the refrigerator before I go to bed.

1. Spray your pan with cooking spray.
2. Place frozen dough on your pan. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap to keep from sticking to dough while rising.
3. Place your pan in the refrigerator overnight or all day long. When you're ready to begin baking, take the pan out of the refrigerator.
4. Allow the rolls to rest on the counter for 1-2 hours so the rolls will double in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 350.
6. Remove the plastic wrap and bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Give the frosting packets a few squeezes before clipping the corner off the packet and spread frosting over rolls while they are still warm.

Speed Thaw Method

1. Spray your chosen pan with cooking spray.
2. Place frozen dough on your pan. Lightly spray the top of the cinnamon rolls with nonstick spray and cover with plastic wrap to keep from sticking to dough while rising.
3. Preheat the oven to 200 F and turn off once heated.
4. While the oven is preheating, bring 2 quarts to a boil and pour into a pan on the lowest rack in the oven.
5. Place rolls in the oven and allow them to double in size.
6. Remove the pan of water and carefully remove the plastic wrap.
7. With the rolls still in the oven, reheat the oven to 350.
8. Once heated, bake until golden brown. source

Cautions with using the speed thaw method:

• Only use this method when you are super crunched for time.
• It is common for some discoloration to occur when using the speed method.
• Out of all of the baking methods, this method is most likely to have rolls fall.
