How to Bake Frozen Rolls
You may be weary about these if you have only seen them at the store but never actually tried baking frozen bread dough. It is easier than you think! You can buy them already formed into these little dough balls or in a larger loaf style too. I have used both and it’s been a game changer for us to make all sorts of things.
I have rolled out the larger version to make a sort of pizza roll up with frozen bread dough like this. These smaller ones can stay in this same shape and baked or cooked in your air fryer. During the holidays think outside of the box to make any shape you like! Last year I rolled out two, twisted together and made it into a circle for these pretty Easter egg bread creations.
You can even slice it once your frozen Rhodes rolls are defrosted and risen. Then you can braid it into a sort of semi-homemade Challah bread!
I mean the possibilities go on and on, from sweet rolls to savory creations. If you have made dough of any kind you know what I mean, it doesn’t have to be thrown into a loaf pan. That is good but predictable and can be morphed from there depending on how creative you can be.

The “regular” way is to just cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with non stick spray which works too if you have the time. You do not want to let them sit much longer once they are twice the size, that would be over-proofing and they won’t be as fluffy. Once you have your proofed Rhodes rolls you are ready to puff these babies up.
You can do something else with these babies too, besides just keeping them plain y’all. You can cut each one into fourths, dunk into melted butter, rolled into cinnamon and sugar and into a bundt pan they go. Wait, keep listening.
- Yes, that is right, you can make our easy monkey bread with them! Instead of refrigerated rolls these work even better because they aren’t as mushy.
You can tweak this one so many different ways too though. I have made chocolate monkey bread with Rhodes rolls or cinnamon rolls. OH yes I did, you can make a savory version rolled in poppy seeds and different seasonings….and the list goes on and on.
