Tips & Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuit dough in advance. Store it wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just remember to let it come to room temperature before shaping the rolls to ensure they rise properly while baking.
What can I substitute for nuts in this recipe?
If you have nut allergies or prefer not to use nuts, you can substitute with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Alternatively, crushed cookies or granola can provide a similar crunch and flavor without using nuts.
Can I freeze these rolls after baking?
Absolutely! Once baked and cooled, you can freeze the pull apart rolls in a freezer-safe container. They will stay fresh for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven before serving.
