Can this be made in a regular oven?
Debbie from Rhodes
Sure, you could make it in a regular oven. I would probably make it in a 9 x 13″ pan and bake it at 350 for about 20 minutes.

How do you cut the rolls when they come straight from the freezer, and when thawed they just deflate if I pick them up…. what is the secret… I just got these frozen for the first time… excited to use them for more than just dinner rolls which are so super easy and tasty so far….. thank you in advance.

The rolls have to thaw and then raise. You need to let them double in size and then bake them. If you let them continue to rise, the rolls will just continue to rise and fill with air and then the rolls will fall or deflate. So, the secret is to watch and bake when the rolls are ready to bake (double in size). Just because they get bigger does not necessarily mean you will get a bigger roll.
