Notes

*We made this recipe in a 9-inch round baking pan. You could also use a 13 x 9-inch baking dish or even a 9-inch springform pan. Please keep in mind that depending on the type of pan you use will determine how much your rolls will rise and baking times will vary. Experiment with different pans until you find one you like. Just think of all the cinnamon rolls you can eat!!
