To reheat, pop one in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. This will make it nice and warm, fluffy, and even more delicious!
Freezer Friendly
Yes! You can freeze these rolls after baking completely. Just let them cool, place them in a freezer bag, and keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to use them, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat as mentioned above.
