What the AI looks for in Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls
- Roll size
- Choose jumbo rolls for an individual breakfast, or standard rolls for a crowd or for cutting into pieces in a casserole. Size changes the gooey-center-to-crust ratio and the bake time.
- Icing type
- Choose between a glaze-style icing and a cream cheese-style icing. This is the main flavor difference between lines.
- Bake for gooeyness
- Pull the rolls when they are just golden, and ice them while they are still warm. Over-baking dries out the center faster than any brand difference.
Brands that matter
- Pillsbury: Grands!, standard and Cinnabon-branded refrigerated rolls.
- Annie's: Organic refrigerated cinnamon rolls.
What to avoid
- Confusing these with frozen proof-overnight rolls, which need hours to rise.
- Bulging or burst cans.
Questions
Can I make them ahead?
They are best baked straight from the fridge. Assembling and then holding raw rolls for long periods tends to over-proof them.
