Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg over the rolls before baking. If you can't find frozen dinner rolls, homemade dough can work as a substitute. To speed up the process, use a microwave to slightly thaw the rolls if you're short on time, but avoid fully thawing them to retain their shape.
