I would love to make these for Thanksgiving morning. However, with all the other stuff going on that morning I was wondering if these could be made ahead and be frozen before baking. Perhaps after the rise in the pan?? Would I then thaw and bake? Or, bake them frozen??
I think allowing them to have a second rise overnight in the refrigerator is the best option. You can pull them out about 45 minutes before baking and allow them to finish rising before baking. ~AmyHi - Sure, you can do this. Make them up to the point they're in the pan. Let them rise about 3/4 of the way to fully risen, then freeze, well wrapped. Thaw overnight in the fridge Wednesday night, then let come to room temperature Thursday morning; let rise a bit more, if necessary; and bake. Enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving! PJH
