Frozen Bread Dough Cinnamon Rolls
Making cinnamon rolls is a snap when using frozen bread dough!


We are back to blogging this week. Yay! 🎉
Whew! It has been a couple of crazy last few days. I knew changing my blog platform was going to be a big change, but, didn’t realize how stressed out it would make me.
My site was down, my email was down and we were out of town and I trying to do stuff via my phone only. Crazy stress. But, thank goodness, everything is started to get done and things are getting back to our normal blog business.
* Breaths sigh of relief *

These are the best and easiest cinnamon rolls you will ever make.Possibly,in your whole life.

Shouldn’t there be cinnamon in these cinnamon rolls?
Oops! Yes, I made the correction. Thanks for catching that Cindy 🙂
These look so good, and easy to make too. Thank you for sharing the recipe at The Really Crafty Link Party. Pinned.
Thank you for the pin and party Teresa! Have a good day 🙂
Oh my! There is nothing I like more than cinnamon rolls! I tried making them from scratch this winter and it was SO MUCH work. This sounds like a great way to cut back on some of the time. Pinned.
It does cut back so much time and they are delicious! Thanks for the pin and stopping by..enjoy the rolls 🙂
Wow, these look so amazing and much easier than making from scratch. Thanks for sharing at Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a great day.

Thanks for the party Miz Helen!
Are the ingredients for the icing right? I made it and it came out VERY watery.
Hi Maria- Yes, they are correct. Not sure why yours didn’t turn out, but, in the future, you can always add a bit more powdered sugar to thicken it up.
Wonderful made them they were very easy used the silicone mat I have had forever yes it is a game changer and to think I had this all alone Thank You! Enjoy!
Delicious! Can’t wait to make these!
Thanks Karly! Enjoy 🙂
Rolling out the bread dough was difficult for me. I thawed it out over night but was hard to roll out. Any suggestions. Thank you!
I had same problem did you ever get a solution for this
When I put the bread in loaf pans to rise~ I sprayed the bottom and then the sprayed the plastic to cover the bread.
I bought one of those silicone mats and what was a game changer! No sticking whatsoever! Worth the investment:)
Super easy ! I didn’t put the bread in pan to thaw, I just threw it on a cookie sheet and covered. Worked great.
Great idea Kathy! Glad they were a success!
Could you make these the night before and cook them in the morning?
Simply scrumptious!
Thank you Irene!
I was wondering if you have ever tried them with whole wheat frozen dough. Would like to try it.
Hi Mary- No, I’m sorry, I haven’t tried the whole wheat dough for these. If you give them a try, please let me know how they work out..it’s a great idea!
These are crazy! Easy recipe! Made them for thanksgiving tomorrow. Thank you!
How long does it take to completely thaw a loaf of frozen bread?
