Dough recipe adapted from Molly Wizenberg's cinnamon rolls 

There are two ways to make these in advance:

1. You could do the initial mixing at night and let the dough rise overnight in the fridge. This requires a little bit of work in the morning — punching down the dough , shaping, letting rise again, etc. Your rolls won’t be ready first thing in the morning, but they’ll be ready soon enough.

2. You can follow the recipe until the rolls are shaped and placed in their baking pans, then stick them in the fridge to rest overnight. As far as timing goes, allow yourself about four hours to mix the dough, let it rise, shape the rolls, etc. — so if you go to bed at 10pm, make sure you’ve started the rolls by 6am, and if you have the time, you’re best off starting them even earlier in the day.

If when you take the rolls out of the fridge in the morning they are not doubled in size, let them sit in a warm spot until they have doubled — they should be puffed and squishing against ea
