      Thanks for your question! Just let your dough thaw completely out. It does not need to rise. Then cut it into pieces and follow the recipe. If you have any questions, please feel free to call one of our baking experts at 1-800-876-7333. Happy Baking!

      Thanks for being a loyal consumer. At this time we do not make any gluten-free items and do not see us doing so in the near future. It would require building a new facility and we do not have plans for that.

    When you say to cut each roll in half, is that horizontally or vertically?

      Thanks for your question! The rolls should be some what round so it really doesn’t matter. Hope you enjoy this yummy recipe!
