Fine Cooking? It's intrigued me, not for myself but to make for others, and I'm wondering if after they've been made can they be frozen?

Thanks,

Deb

 
Deb, if it's in the current issue, I don't have the recipe, since I don't subscribe anymore.

 
deb-in-MI, I have the issue and no mention is made as to freezing...>

however, there is a great review from a reader that tried the recipe with the variation and she states that both recipes came out perfectly. Hope that helps.

 
Thanks Gay & Meryl. I have the issue and although it didn't

mention 'freezing' I was hoping that somebody who had experience with cinnamon rolls and/or different doughs would know. Since cinnamon rolls rolls aren't something that I would personally get excited about, I'm hesitant to make it. But since I love making things for other people, and so many people love cinnamon rolls...well...maybe I should make it:)

Deb, I've made regular yeasted cinnamon buns, and froze the shaped dough...

I made the dough in the bread machine, let it do the first rise in the machine.

When the dough cycle was done, I rolled the dough, added the filling, rolled and cut, and placed the buns in a parchment lined pan.

I froze the buns at that point (after it froze solid, I lifted the frozen dough out of the pan with the parchment, and stuck it in a ziploc bag.

To defrost, I placed the parchment and buns back into the pan and left it in the fridge overnight.

To bake, I took it out of the fridge for about 2 hours, then baked as usual.

The Fine Cooking dough is a biscuit dough, but I would think you could do the same. Freeze, then defrost overnight in the fridge (you wouldn't need another rise, like the yeasted dough), then bake.

I figure biscuit dough is similar to scone dough, and I've frozen formed, raw scone dough. For scones, I'd just bake it frozen, for a few minutes longer. You might be able to do that with the cinnamon buns too.

But I think it would be way better to freeze the dough, rather than to freeze the baked product.
