Can you freeze baked rolls?

Once you’ve baked and prepared your rolls you can freeze them to eat later on. Make sure they are fully cooled before putting in a ziploc bag. They will last 2-3 months in your freezer.

To defrost take out of your freezer and let thaw on your counter top. You can warm slowly in the microwave or oven.

What can I serve with dinner rolls?

We always have butter, jam or honey with our rolls. They are also delicious without any toppings or dipped in gravy and mashed potatoes.
