Rhodes rolls are such a simple hack for baking, however some individuals get slightly flustered as a result of though they don’t need to make the dough, they find yourself quick on time nonetheless. That’s as a result of the rolls nonetheless want to take a seat out and rise. It’s frozen dough, so please be sure to account for that point.
