How long can they rise in the fridge? I plan on making them up in the evening and not baking them until the next afternoon. Is that too long?

Do you grease the pan before putting in the rolls?

I have tried a few different recipes and these were a hit on Christmas.I topped half with Asiago cheese for an added flavor. Trying them in a batch of 12 larger roll soon for sandwiches.

In reply to Susan. If refrigerating over night, no you do not need to let them rise before refrigeration. :)

In reply to Kristy. Hi Kristy! I'm not familiar with using a bread oven so I can't advise how it would be done. :(

This was our first experience, making dinner rolls. They were phenomenal, both in texture and taste. After mixing, we stored them in the refrigerator overnight. Again, outstanding.

I made these for Thanksgiving and they were a huge hit. I made them the day before and kept them in the fridge, as directed, until the morning. I had to bake them before the turkey, so that was the only bummer, as I would have loved to have them hot out of the oven–but even cold they were delicious (and I ate one for breakfast with leftover meat). It makes quite a lot of rolls, so I wonder if I could manage cutting the recipe in half to make it in the future for just my husband and me, or if I can just freeze the leftovers. Definitely a keeper!

Do you let rise before putting in fridge? Thanks

Can I use my bread oven? or should I just use a glass pan?

In reply to Brenda Johnson. Hi Brenda! What kind of shape are you trying to make? A bread stick or a crescent roll would probably work fine. :)

Can these rolls be frozen individually into a different shape after the first rise to be baked later?

In reply to Sara Pearce. Hi Sara! I haven't personally done it. It could potentially work, but when you refrigerate them longer than 24 hours you run the risk of over-proofing the dough.

I would love to make these for Thanksgiving. Can you make them 2 days head and keep refrigerated until baking?

Thank you!

In reply to Diane. Hi Diane! Unfortunately I do not have a gluten free dinner roll recipe. You could try a 1:1 gluten free flour, but without having done it myself, I can't say for sure how it would turn out. :(

Help!!! Do you have a recipe for gluten-free dinner rolls? I need this for our Thanksgiving dinner.

In reply to JulieD. Hi Julie! You will just form the dough into balls, place in the pan and cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator. :)
