  3. Allow the cinnamon rolls to thaw and rise 3 to 5 hours, until double in size. The actual time depends on the temperature of your kitchen.
  4. Carefully remove plastic wrap.
  5. When rolls have risen fully, preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  6. Bake 15–20 minutes, until light brown. Do not overbake!
  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.

Refrigerator thaw method

  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.
  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

  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.
