- Place slices in pan, cover with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray, and put in fridge to rise 8-24 hours or so until the rolls double in size.
- Next morning…

- Run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a serving plate.
- Eat and enjoy!
Tips:
- These special cinnamon rolls are so tasty and since they are prepared the night before, all that is needed is a quick pop in the oven in the morning.
