I am a novice bread baker and have a question about the freezing and thawing process. I was planning to bake them in a sheet pan; do they need to be frozen in cake pans so they have room to rise when thawing? If not, can I just put the rolls in freezer bags and leave some room around each roll? I am assuming the rolls thaw overnight in the plastic bags, but as I said, I am a novice. Finally, what is the minimum and maximum time the rolls should sit in the frig thawing before baking? We will be eating around 7 p.m., and I didn't know if the rolls could overrise in the refrigerator. Thanks so much.
