Step 4: Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 20 to 24 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the cream cheese mixture has melted and cooked.

Baking Tip

About halfway through the cooking time, I removed the casserole from the oven and using the back of a spoon, gently spread the cream cheese mixture over all the cinnamon rolls to make sure they were all covered.

Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls Icing

Step 5: Add both tubes of icing into a silicone measuring cup. Place the measuring cup in a microwave and heat on high for about 15 seconds. Be careful not to overheat the icing. If you do, it will turn liquid.

How do you make tube cinnamon rolls better?

Well, I think making the cinnamon rolls into a casserole like this one is the best way! You could also add simple stir ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, chopped cooked bacon or even cooked sausage.

How long do you wait to put icing on cinnamon rolls?

You should wait around 5 to 10 minutes before adding the icing to the top of cinnamon rolls and this breakfast casserole recipe. If you add the icing too soon, it will melt right into the cinnamon rolls due to the heat.

FAQs

Can I bake cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet? ›

Place the sliced rolls onto a baking sheet or into a pan as the recipe directs. Nestling the rolls somewhat close together will result in tear-and-share style cinnamon rolls.

Do cinnamon rolls need to touch when baking? ›

Place the cinnamon rolls into your prepared pan, with little room between each roll and ½ inch from the edge of the pan. Lightly press down on each roll so that the edges of each roll barely touch each other, and improve their round form if needed.

How to heat Cinnabon rolls? ›

Cinnabon Heating Instructions
  1. Remove rolls from baking liner.
  2. Place room temperature rolls on microwave-safe plate (do not cover)
  3. Use “ High “ Power setting.
  4. Heat 1 large roll for 30-40 seconds . Add 10 seconds for additional roll.

How to reheat cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting? ›

Refrigerator: Store any leftovers (not likely) in the fridge for up to 5 days, and simply microwave individual cinnamon rolls for 20-30 seconds to reheat. You can also gently reheat the entire pan of iced cinnamon rolls in a 250 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Can you make Pillsbury cinnamon rolls on a sheet pan? ›

PLACE rolls in pan, cinnamon topping up. BAKE 13 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. SPREAD with icing. FASTER BAKE METHOD: Place rolls 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet.

Can I leave cinnamon rolls out overnight before baking? ›

Instead of letting the rolls rise at room temperature and baking them, you'll cut and arrange the rolls in the baking pan, tightly cover them with plastic wrap, immediately transfer them to the fridge and let them rest overnight. (Do not leave them out at room temperature for any longer than needed.)

Can you use parchment paper instead of greasing a pan for cinnamon rolls? ›

Grease the bottom and sides of a metal or glass 9×13-inch baking dish (glass or metal) or line with parchment paper. Roll out the dough: Punch down the dough to release the air.

Why are my cinnamon rolls not light and fluffy? ›

There are a lot of variables that go into the consistency of dough, even down to the weather and humidity. But the most common reason cinnamon rolls don't turn out fluffy is because the dough didn't have enough time to rise.

Why can't you refrigerate Cinnabon? ›

Why you shouldn't refrigerate Cinnabon. According to Serious Eats, after baking, the starch molecules in bread begin to recrystallize and harden, which is how bread goes stale. Refrigeration only accelerates that process.

How to make cinnamon rolls soft again? ›

How do you make cinnamon rolls soft again? Make cinnamon rolls soft again by adding a little bit of moisture back into them while reheating. You can do this by adding a pat of butter to the top of each roll and covering them with a damp paper towel while reheating in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

Do you microwave or bake Cinnabon? ›

Can cream cheese frosting be left out on cinnamon rolls? ›

While the addition of butter and powdered sugar does help to stabilize it, cream cheese frosting should only be left out at room temperature for two hours before it needs to be put in the fridge.

How to proof cinnamon rolls in the oven? ›

Keep the rolls covered tightly with foil so they don't dry out. Some ovens have a “bread proof” setting and this works great! After 45 –60 minutes of proofing, they are ready to bake! They will appear a little puffed up, but won't be doubled in size.

Is cinnamon roll icing made of cream cheese? ›

Cinnamon Roll Icing Ingredients

Butter and cream cheese: This decadent cinnamon roll icing starts with butter and cream cheese beaten together. Milk: Two tablespoons of milk help thin the cinnamon roll icing, creating the perfect spreadable texture. Vanilla: Vanilla extract takes the irresistible flavor up a notch.

Can you cook cinnamon rolls on a flat sheet? ›

Generously butter the bottom and sides of an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan. Cut one log of dough crosswise into 16 pieces and arrange them cut-side up in the pan, gently shaping each cinnamon roll to make them fit in the pan. Repeat with the remaining log, ending up with a 4-by-8 grid of rolls.

What can I use instead of parchment paper for cinnamon rolls? ›

A greased baking sheet is a quick, easy substitute for parchment paper. This method works for most cases unless you have a particularly sticky ingredient. Both the additional fat and the direct contact of the food with the baking sheet can subtly impact the resulting food.

What kind of pan is best for baking cinnamon rolls? ›

I recommend using a 9×9 inch baking pan or 9-inch circular pan so that the cinnamon rolls fit well and bake properly.

Can I put Pillsbury cinnamon rolls on parchment paper? ›
