Freeze Cinnamon Roll Dough

Can You Freeze Cinnamon Roll Dough?


Cinnamon rolls are a sweet pastry. Cinnamon roll dough is made by combining yeast dough with a cinnamon filling. Recipes for cinnamon roll dough vary slightly.


Freezing cinnamon roll dough


Cinnamon roll dough can be frozen in its rolled form (after the cinnamon filling has been spread or sprinkled on the dough and rolled) or after it has been baked. Per package directions, it is not recommended to freeze prepackaged, refrigerated cinnamon rolls prior to baking.

Place the unbaked rolled dough or baked rolls in airtight packaging such as plastic wrap or freezer-safe storage bags before freezing. Baked cinnamon rolls should be cooled before freezing.


Length of time for freezing


Unbaked cinnamon roll dough should not be frozen for more than one month. Baked cinnamon rolls can be frozen for up to three months.








Thawing the dough


Thaw baked or unbaked dough in the refrigerator overnight (eight to 12 hours) or set out and bring to room temperature (three to six hours).


Baking the cinnamon roll dough


Bake thawed dough according to recipe directions. Reheat thawed baked rolls in the microwave for about 15 seconds each.
