Can I let these rise overnight in the refrigerator?
Debbie from Rhodes
That is my favorite way to thaw our dough. You may have to let the dough rise a bit before baking.

Can i use then bread loaf? If so, how many loaves? Thank you!
Debbie from Rhodes
You can divide the loaf into 12 Dinner size rolls or 8 larger rolls, so you would have to thaw 2 loaves. Let the loaves thaw and divide them into what the recipe calls for.

CAN you use sugar free sugar like Splenda with this?
Debbie from Rhodes
We haven’t tried Splenda. I’m sure it can be used but I’m not sure how it will change the taste.
Laura Esparza
Yes ma’am you can use the Splenda on the rolls but you may want to try a small amount of frosting first. If it is just as good as the powder sugar then it should work fine

Thank you for this most delicious recipe! I love cranberries so much that i always keep dried cranberries on hand. When usung dried cranberries in a recipe, I reconstitute them in orange juice. This way, I can enjoy cranberries year round, including in your cranberry
swirls!
Debbie from Rhodes
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing that hint!
