Cinnamon Roll Dough: Can It Be Saved After Refrigeration?

[Irish lass 77]

So I made my usual cinnamon roll recipe last night. I was going to bake them after the second rise but I got too tired. So then I was just going to roll them out and follow directions for overnight (which have them rolled and in pan) well I got too tired for that and just ended up putting plastic wrap over the double batch of dough and stuck the bowl in the fridge. Did I ruin all that dough ?
I’m still going to attempt to bake them now. Darn exhaustion

Not necessarily! What's done is done, so if it were me I'd bake them and see how they turn out. Yeast works far more slowly at a low temperature, so hopefully they won't overprove.

It's also worth bearing in mind that you can freeze dough after the first prove - might be useful in the future.

Let us know how they turn out

So I am kind of biased. I love cinnamon rolls in general (except canned) not that there’s anything wrong with canned, my kids love them!!! They came out okay. I noticed that a lot of them came unrolled when cooled. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. I still ate them Now I need to figure out single serve packaging for 1 roll, without the frosting getting smooshed. I was using a napkin and plastic baggies. Any ideas ?
Thanks !!

When I'm trying to protect an iced cake / bun, I always wrap it in greaseproof paper first. It's not infallible, but in my experience it's less likely to stick to sticky things!
