Heike, our team of bakers has come up with a few different options for making these rolls ahead of time. Here's what we've said:
You could freeze the dough after its first rise; or shape the rolls, let them rise up to the point where they go into the fridge, then freeze. Once frozen, take them off the baking sheet, and wrap airtight. And of course, leave enough time to thaw overnight in the fridge when you’re ready to bake.
Another option for partially baking the rolls: bake the rolls for 75% to 80% of the time listed in the recipe. The rolls will rise, but not brown. Once completely cooled, they can be frozen. Refresh or complete the bake at the same temperature until the rolls are browned to your liking the next morning. If you need more details, feel free to call the Baker's Hotline at 855-371-BAKE(2253). Happy baking! Kye@KAF
