Can i use the overnight Method with these? Would love to pop them in the oven on christmas morning.
Debbie from Rhodes
Thanks for your question! You could prepare them and put them covered in sprayed plastic wrap in the refrigerator over night. Them bring them out and let them rise for about 30-45 minutes before baking. We do not recommend leaving them on the counter overnight because the rolls with keep rising an fall.

I LOVE your rolls!!! I use them all the time and have told so many of my friends about them. There is a recipe with orange coconut knots that someone made for me years ago. Do you have the recipe? If do, could I do the same as with monkey bread? Thank you for this good bread!!
Debbie from Rhodes
I think you should look at the Orange Knot recipe on our website and make those and sprinkle with coconut. Or you could use the Mini Monkey Bread recipe and roll the pieces in the same topping as the Orange Knot recipe and then sprinkle with coconut, so you could bake it in the muffin tins.
I hope this all made sense. If not, you can call me today at 1-800-876-7333. I am in the office on Thursdays.

Does this recipe use the raw dough balls (“thaw, rise, bake” on pkg) or the heat & serve dinner rolls? I would guess the raw dough but the header on the recipe says “bake & serve” so now im not sure.

I cannot see anything that says, “bake & serv,” except on our company logo. You would use our Thaw, Rise and Bake Dinner Rolls. Thaw and then cut them into pieces.
