Honestly who doesn’t love homemade cinnamon rolls? Waking up to that warm gooey goodness with a hot cup of coffee is pure heaven . In order to have them for breakfast the cook..AKA Me..would have to get up at in the wee hours of the morning to start the process. Not very fair huh? The answer to all of this is Par-Baking your rolls. All this means is when the rolls are ready to go into the oven they are partially baked and can be either frozen or refrigerated. This is an easy step by step method to how to par-bake cinnamon rolls. I have kept rolls in the freezer for a few months and they baked beautifully. Just think if you had homemade cinnamon rolls slathered with homemade icing on Christmas morning you be Mom of the year.

To help make ends meet during that time I made and sold cinnamon rolls when I got off work. I came up with several variations of cinnamon rolls in that time and I dubbed them all furlough rolls. When that time passed and my husband was no longer furloughed I swore I would never knead dough again. Once the blisters healed from closing hundreds of pans and the freezer no longer was stocked with pans of rolls that didn’t sell I missed them. These are seriously worth kneading dough again. Back in 2014 I adjusted this recipe many times and could make these without even thinking but not today. I actually had to pull out my handwritten notes.
