I know this is...somewhere. I need to make cinnamon rolls, freeze them unbaked,

[marilynfl]

then drive for an hour, store them in the work refrigerator for half the day, then drive 3 more hours to Tampa, then bake them.

That's possible, right??

Marilyn, Have a look at King Arthur's Flour blog on how to freeze

[marilynfl]

oh, there's an idea...parbake them, freeze, then finish off in Tampa. Thanks, Gay!

My pleasure, Marilyn

Phase 1 done. Parbaked/frozen...let's see how it handles the rest of the trip.

I wish you were coming my way!

Cinnamon rolls worked out fine. Thanks G!. Now if I could only do this with pecan rolls...

Tried something like this once before and reheated the already baked rolls in the pan with sugar/butter/nut on the bottom and rolls on top. The sugar bypassed caramelization, passed Go, DID NOT collect $200, and turned granule-ly ? gritty?...nasty and hard to chew/digest.

It was eaten anyway (with this group, there is no down side) but it was a huge disappointment for me.

Can't you just freeze them unbaked? KA did that with sticky buns >>

oh, dear Elsie, did you see those cheese twists!

 

[cheezz]

Yes! And did you catch the apology for the 'slipshod' way they looked?! They were lovely!
