Once the cinnamon rolls are ready to bake can they be re-frozen for a later date?
Debbie Norris
Thank you for your question! Once the rolls are thawed and risen they cannot be refrozen. You could freeze the baked Cinnamon Rolls and re-warm them. I would just put them in a warm oven for about 5 minutes. Hope this helps you!

Thank you for your questions. We do not suggest leaving any of our products out overnight. You can put them in your baking pan in the refrigerator overnight and then get them out and finish letting them raise approximately 1 hour before you need them. You need to be sure to bake them as soon as they have risen to double in size. Leaving them out will just let them continue to raise and they just fill with air and will collapse in the oven. Also, check the “best by” date and bake well before that date.
Please call our Customer Satisfaction Department at 1-800-876-7333 and we would be happy to send you replacement coupon for those.

ASked for Tree nut free items. Several products came up including cinnamon rolls. Noticed almond extract is used. How can they be tree nut free?
Amy
I put them in the oven with a warm bowl of water like I’ve done in the past with cinnamon rolls but these did not do well with that method they ended up very dry and thin. ☹
Debbie from Rhodes
I was also thinking that you have to be careful to watch them while you are proofing them. Be sure to bake the rolls when they have doubled in size. It sounds like they may have over-risen. It’s important to bake them at the right time so they don’t just fill with air and collapse. Just another thought with my previous one.
Amy
* to be more clear * I put them in oven with warm water to rise like homemade ones of my own I’ve made in the past.
Debbie from Rhodes
That really should work just fine. Just wondering what the “best by” date was on your package. Or if there was ice in the package or if the rolls were stuck together? If either of those things were a problem, it might have affected the way they performed.
I would be happy to send you a replacement coupon. Please call our Customer Satisfaction department and speak with one of our baking experts and she will gladly send you a coupon to try them again. 1-800-876-7333
Amy
Best by date is 7/3/20. I do not see Any ice crystals, it was brand new from walmart. I’m trying again tonight without the bowl of water. Maybe they over proofed? If that’s the right word?? Too much moisture or warmth cause then to rise to much and/or too fast?? Thank you!!
Stefanie Farmer
COULD I thaw the dough in the fridge during the day, roll the cinnamon rolls that evening, and then place them in fridge overnight? then take them out to finish doubling in size the following morning?
Debbie from Rhodes
That is exactly the perfect way to do it!!!
Stefanie Farmer
tHANK YOU SO MUCH DEBBIE!! YOU SAVED THE DAY!
Shelia
I recently bought the cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. I let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then took them out and let them rise about 1 hour and 45 mins. They baked just fine but the cinnamon rolls had very little flavor. Almost like there was no cinnamon in the cinnamon rolls. they were newly bought and not past the “best by date”
Debbie from Rhodes
I’m sorry that the rolls were not as good as you expected them to be. If you would call our Customer Satisfaction department at 1-800-876-7333 and give us some information, we would be happy to send you a coupon to try them again. Hopefully they will be better on the second try. Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your experience.

I noticed on your cinnamon roll recipe it says on a lightly sprayed counter roll dough into a 12 by 18 inch rectangle I’m used to roll in it on flower which way should I do it. I got that my name
Barbara Maddox
At one time you had a recipe for cinnamon rolls that call for butter scotch pudding. The pudd was used with butter and cinnamon mixed and spred in a baking pan and rolls placed on top of mixture and let rise and then baked. I just dont have the ExExact recipe. Do you have it. They were So good
Debbie from Rhodes
We have so many recipes that we’ve developed over many years. And many of these recipes are on our website so you might want to check that out. I have a huge binder with a lot of recipes from over the years and I would be happy to look through these. However, I am working from home right now and only go into the office once a week. I will look next week and keep your email address and let you know what I find.
Just thinking, there are two that come to mind. Sticky Buns and Butterscotch Bubble Loaf are two that you can find on our website. So check those out and I will get back with you. Thanks for understanding!
K
Ooh. I want the sticky bun recipe.
Debbie from Rhodes
You can find that recipe on our website at http://www.rhodesbakenserv.com. Find it in our recipe tab and put caramel in the search. Hope that helps you!
KarenB
My rolls have thawed. But do I let them rise first before rolling out, making the cinnamon rolls and rise again?
Debbie from Rhodes
Thanks for your question! You do not need to let the dough rise before you roll it out to make the Cinnamon Rolls. Assemble the rolls and then let them rise until they double in size. Then it’s time to bake! Enjoy!
Lisa
If I’m using 12 rolls instead of loaf, do i just flatten them In an oVal shape?
Debbie from Rhodes
Thank you for your question! Yes, just let the rolls completely thaw and roll them out to the rectangle shape, the recipe calls for. Hope this helps you!
pEGGY
(SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS) I LET MY DOUGH THAW A FEW DAYS IN THE FRIDGE. IF IT BEGINS TO RISE, CAN I STILL USE IT? DO I PUNCH IT DOWN FIRST? DO I NEED TO LET THE DOUGH COME TO ROOM TEMP BEFORE FORMING INTO ROLLS? AFTER FORMING INTO ROLLS CAN I PLACE BACK IN FRIDGE OVERNIGHT AND BAKE IN THE MORNING? thank you!!
Debbie from Rhodes
Thank you for your question! We only recommend letting the dough stay in the refrigerator for only 24 hours. So I don’t know if I would recommend using it. If the dough is in the refrigerator less than 24 hours and it rises, you can just reform it and let it rise again. But it will rise faster the second time so you need to watch it and bake it when it is ready.
If the dough you have now smells really yeasty or sour I would not use it. Sorry!
Shelley Donald
you probably should have sPecified to use BROwn sugar For the fillinG. Bummer.
Shelley Donald
Why are the capital/lower case letters printing oddly?
Debbie from Rhodes
I’m not sure but I will check with the IT department and see if we can get that figured out.
Debbie from Rhodes
Yes, I will get them to change that in the recipe.
Sue
I have Made these twice now, and although they taste good they always fall fairly flat n the middle section of the pan while baking and the fall even more when they are take out. Do you have any idea why this might happen? Thank you.
Sue
Debbie from Rhodes
Yes, you just want them to double in size. It sounds like you may be letting them raise too much. Then the rolls just continue to rise and fill with air. They look nice but there is nothing to hold the rise. So just let them double in size. Also be sure to check the “best buy” date on the package. The farther out the date is, the fresher the yeast will be and they will raise faster. Hope this helps you!
Elouise Johnson
THERE USED TO BE A RECIPE ON THE CINNAMON ROLLS PACKAGE FOR MAKING CARAMEL ROLLS. yOU WOULD PUT PATS OF BUTTER AND BROWN SUGAR UNDER THE INDIVIDUAL ROLLS BEFORE LETTING THEM RISE. THEN BAKE – THE CARAMEL WAS JUST RIGHT, NOT AS SWEET AS SOME RECIPES. USED IT FOR MANY YEARS BUT NOW CAN’T FIND THE RECIPE ANYWHERE. hELP??
Debbie from Rhodes
If you look at our website, http://www.rhodesbakenserv.com you will find a recipe that we now call Sticky Buns. I think this is the recipe you are thinking of. You can also search for similar recipes. If you need additional help you can contact one of our baking experts in our Customer Satisfaction department at 1-800-876-7333. Hope this helps you!

This recipe uses the Rhodes White Bread Dough or the Rhodes Dinner Rolls. You can find the Dinner Rolls in Kroger store in the Atlanta area. If you are referring to our Traditional Cinnamon Rolls which are already made for you, there are no stores in your area that currently order them. Hope this helps you!

I clicked on this to get the recipe for Raspberry rolls and while I love cinnamon rolls, i really want raspberry rolls and it doesn’t link to the recipe that includes raspberries.
Thank you! (i’m really not yelling but i can’t get out of caps mode on this site. it’s annoying, lol)
Debbie from Rhodes
Thanks for making us aware of this! It should be fixed now and you can get that recipe. The typing in capitals is a problem on our side too. I’ll mention that also and see if that can be fixed. It must be a Monday!
VALERIE S
On the website UNDER BREAKFAST & BRUNCH, IT LISTS RASPBERRY ROLLS. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU CLICK ON IT YOU GET THE RECIPE FOR CINNAMON ROLLS. PLEASE POST THE RECIPE FOR THE RASPBERRY ROLLS. THANK YOU.
Debbie from Rhodes
Thanks for letting us know. It has been fixed and you should be able to see that recipe now.
Jane steg
Which type of sugar? (Sorry, Cannot undo the caps in this meSsage)
Should i use brown or granulated sugar ith the cinnamon?
Debbie from Rhodes
The recipe calls for granulated sugar but I’m sure brown sugar would work as well. It would be interesting to use the brown sugar and let us know if you try that out! Happy Baking!
PATRICIA,
I made these just the othe day, using brown sugar, instead of granulated, and they were very good. I used 12 dinner rolls and then rolled them out, covering with butter, brown sugar, and cinnimon. they turned out very good. I can hardly find Rhodes in any grocery stores in Moble, Al. 36695. Sorry for the caps, but won’t do lower case for me. thank you.
Jamie
IF I WANT TO HAVE THESE IN THEM IN THE MORNING AND I GE TTHEM
READY AND PUT IN THE FRIDGE TIL THE KORNING HOW LONG TO DO THINK I NEED YO LEAVE THEM OUT IN THW KORNING TO FINISH DOUBLING BEFORE COOKING?
Debbie from Rhodes
You will probably need about an hour. It depends on the warmth of your kitchen and the freshness of the yeast (check the “best by” date on the package).
SusanAnn
I have read all the comments and questions and I for the life of me or needing stronger reading glasses cannot find how to thaw out the dinner rolls for using them in the cinnamon roll recipe. pLEASE HELP i’M STARVING FOR THE ROLLS!!!!!
Debbie from Rhodes
All you have to do is cover and leave the dough on your counter until it thaws completely (approximately 1-2 hours) or put the dough in the refrigerator overnight.
Deb
I have made these for years and they have always been good. The last two packages ive bought, the rolls do not rise. I have a bread proof setting on my oven that i have used. The temp can be set between 85 and 100 degrees. Ive tried different temps and i have also let them rise on the counter. I follow this exact recipe. What could the problem be?
Debbie from Rhodes
Have you checked the “best by” date on the package? Was there ice in the package or were the rolls stuck together? These all could affect the raising of the rolls. If you are using a proofer, make sure the setting isn’t too hot. That it is just warming the dough.
Check during the proofing to see if they have doubled in size. That is the time to bake them. They could raise too much and fall. If you will send me your name and address and “best by” and code info underneath the date. I would be happy to send you a replacement coupon for those.
Joyce
WALMART carries them,I make little pizzas for my grandkids their great too.
Karin
Hello! I am new to using Rhodes Bread Dough….can you answer a bery basic ques for me? How do I thaw the bread dough to use in this recipe? Thank you. : )
Debbie from Rhodes
There are several ways to thaw the dough. You can certainly leave it out on your countertop, covered with sprayed plastic wrap, until it is completely thawed but not risen. You can also put the dough in the refrigerator overnight and take it out the next morning to work with.
Hope this helps you!
