Par-baking cinnamon rolls

Par-baking cinnamon rolls is a great technique for preparing these treats ahead of time while keeping them soft and fresh. This method involves partially baking the rolls, allowing them to cool, and then finishing the baking process just before serving. It’s perfect for make-ahead breakfasts or ensuring you always have fresh cinnamon rolls on hand.
