FAQs

Can I use homemade dough instead of refrigerated dough?

Yes, homemade dough works well and can add a personal touch. Just be sure it is rolled out to the same thickness and consistency as refrigerated dough.

How long should the rolls rise before baking?

A 20-minute rise is sufficient for refrigerated dough in this recipe, but you can let them rise longer if using homemade dough or if your kitchen is cooler, to allow the rolls to become fluffier.
