How do you proof frozen cinnamon rolls? ›

Cover the pan with plastic film and put it in the refrigerator overnight or for eight hours so the rolls can defrost. Remove them from the fridge and let them rise for about an hour. They'll snugly fill the pan when they're ready.

Structurally, cinnamon buns share the same spiral shape. They are sometimes thinner and more delicate. The most significant difference between cinnamon rolls and cinnamon buns is the inclusion of nuts. Cinnamon buns often have pecans, walnuts, or even raisins in the filling.

The rolls won't have a light and fluffy texture without enough air bubbles. There are a few more reasons your yeasted dough doesn't seem to be rising, including yeast that's too old or expired, a room temperature that's not sufficiently warm, or the liquid you bloomed the yeast in being too hot.

Now that you've frozen your cinnamon rolls, it's time to bake them! It's important that whatever you do, LET THEM RISE COMPLETELY. This means the cinnamon rolls need to thaw and then rise. You will also want to pull the icing out of the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge overnight.

If you are proofing them while frozen, you will proof for 1 1/2-2 hours. If you are baking the following day, thaw your cinnamon rolls in the refrigerator over night (covered with plastic wrap), then proof next morning. This will lower your proofing time to about 30-45 minutes.

Most people recommend baking cinnamon rolls with bread flour, as this creates a fluffier and softer cinnamon roll. Though all-purpose flour will also work to create tasty cinnamon rolls. All-purpose flour is exactly like bread flour, but its lack of protein will not result in as much structure.

ONLY add as much flour as needed to handle the dough. It's better for the dough to be sticky at the start than to add too much flour and wind up with dense rolls, instead of light and fluffy ones.

Don't Overbake Cinnamon Rolls

Overbaked cinnamon rolls are tough and chewy instead of light and pillowy. Since it can be a bit tricky to know when rolls are fully baked, use a digital thermometer. Bake cinnamon rolls until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches between 190°and 200°F.

Instead of letting the rolls rise at room temperature and baking them, you'll cut and arrange the rolls in the baking pan, tightly cover them with plastic wrap, immediately transfer them to the fridge and let them rest overnight. (Do not leave them out at room temperature for any longer than needed.)

If your bread dough doesn't rise, you can still use it and fix it by changing up the temperature or mixing in more yeast.

“If the dough has risen too long, it's going to feel fragile and might even collapse as you poke it,” says Maggie.
