Can I freeze the dough?

Absolutely! After the first rise, shape the rolls and place them in your pan, then freeze before the second rise. When ready to bake, thaw overnight in the fridge, then let them do their second rise at room temp before baking as usual.

Why didn't my rolls rise?

Oh honey, I feel your pain! Usually it's one of three things: expired yeast (always check that date!), milk that was too hot (it kills the yeast), or a cold kitchen. Try the oven-with-light-on trick next time!

Can I make these the night before?

You bet! Prepare through the second rise, then cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them sit at room temp for 30 minutes while your oven preheats, then bake as directed.

Why are my rolls dry?

Most likely overbaked or over-floured. Set a timer and check early - they should be golden, not brown. And when measuring flour, spoon it lightly into the cup rather than scooping.

Can I add nuts or raisins?

Of course! Sprinkle about 1/2 cup chopped pecans or raisins over the cinnamon-sugar filling before rolling. Just press them in gently so they don't roll away when you slice!
