Cinnamon rolls were a little too eager to grow


I’ve been freezing all of my croissant scraps to make laminated rolls (cinnamon rolls, morning buns, etc) and I finally collected enough for a batch.
However I think maybe I could have gotten 12 instead of 6 lol. They were def growers, not showers.

    “allow to rise until doubled in size”

    The muffin pan: Yeah I got this.

    They’ve got character, reminds me of pigs tails !

    Honest to god I feel like this is something that a boujee hip bakery in LA would do and then become TikTok/IG famous for. If you told me those were selling for $8 a pop in Silverlake I would absolutely believe it.

    They got confused and went for more of a popover vibe.

    Out of curiosity, did you let them prove again in the muffin pan after defrosting them or just straight in the oven?

    I baked cinnamon rolls last week and this exact same thing happened to me. They were still delicious though!

    It’s because the rolls need room the spread out, if they can’t they spread up. I found this out once when I had mine packed too close together in a pan! Lol

    Not from personal experience but I’ve heard that if you tuck the end of the roll into the bottom of it, it’ll stop it from unraveling while proofing and baking

    Those look scrumptious! I’d get a small cup of frosting then pull them apart and dip the pieces in the frosting – yum!!!

    So did you let your dough scraps defrost before adding the filling, or did you add filling and roll them up before freezing?

    I make 200 cinnamon rolls for a race in October — I’d love to be able to do part of the process ahead of time!

    Who cooks cinnamon rolls in muffin tins?

    That aside, the tins are overfilled, and the oven looks like it was too hot (doubly so since it’s a dark tin).

    I feel like these would be better than cinnamon rolls. More surface area, more frosting per bite 🤤🤤
