    If I were to cook these in the morning, then drive several hours to Thanksgiving, what would be the best way to rewarm them for dinner?

      to rewarm the already baked rolls, wrap them in aluminum foil for 15 minutes. They will be delicious!

      You can rewarm the rolls by wrapping the rolls in aluminum foil and place in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.

      I’m sorry we don’t. I will suggest that our food editors do a video. Those rolls are beautiful but a little tricky to shape.

      As the recipe states, you could use “Everything” bagel seasoning, cinnamon and sugar, garlic salt. You could also use parmesan cheese or salad supreme seasoning.

      Until they are thoroughly soft and you are able to work with them.

    I want to add cranberries and wild rice to the dough. Can i add the ingredients , knead, and let rise again?

      It’s not easy to incorporate anything into the dough because it has been kneaded to the point that it is ready to bake. It’s better to roll out the dough and add your ingredients, and then roll the dough up.
      You could try to add it to the thawed dough. You wouldn’t need to let the dough rise first. Add your ingredients and then let it rise afterwards. But I would try it to see how it works before serving it.
