I was taught to bake cinnamon rolls in well greased 11 x 14 metal “baking pans” which have sides that are about 2″ tall. I cuit the rolls about 1 1/2 inches thick and they swell to about 3 inches thick when baked. Results have been consistently good.
Is it better to bake cinnamon rolls in a glass or metal pan?
Glass bakeware is better than metal bakeware in some ways. The glass retains heat better and is nonreactive. Nonreactive means that the cinnamon rolls will not pick up any left behind flavors from the glass. The fact that glass retains heat better does not necessarily mean that metal cooks faster than glass.
What kind of pan is best for baking cinnamon rolls?
I recommend using a 9×9 inch baking pan or 9-inch circular pan so that the cinnamon rolls fit well and bake properly.
What can I use if I don’t have a round cake pan for cinnamon rolls?

Can you bake cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet?

How do you keep cinnamon rolls from burning on the bottom?
As simple as it might sound, a layer (or a few) of parchment paper can go a long way in preventing a burnt bottom crust as well as preventing any sticking. What is this? By placing your dough on parchment paper before baking, you’re essentially creating a barrier between the baking vessel and the dough.
Why do my cinnamon rolls get hard?
Too much flour and the rolls will be dry and tough. Not enough flour and the rolls won’t have enough structure to rise and will be dense and soggy. Toward the end of mixing, gradually add a tablespoon at a time and check the texture of the dough after each addition.
What does pouring cream over cinnamon rolls do?
“Pouring heavy whipping cream over your cinnamon rolls prior to baking is one trick that can help get that pillow-y soft, gooey roll.
Can I use aluminum foil when making cinnamon rolls?

Why do my cinnamon rolls fall after baking?
It is perfectly normal for yeast breads to shrink a bit after they come out of the oven. Steam from the liquid in the recipe causes part of the increase in volume the bread experiences in the oven. When the bread cools, the steam disappears, and depending upon the stability of the dough, the bread will shrink some.
Can I use an aluminum pan instead of glass?
Aluminum is good for cakes, bars, and pies—but also for breads: focaccia, sandwich loaves, and rolls. Because metal heats up faster than glass, it contributes to a better rise and crisper, browner edges. But whatever you’re baking, it’s important to remember that not every metal pan is a great metal pan.
Are disposable aluminum pans safe to cook?
The food grade version of aluminum is safe, the non-food grade version, isn’t. Food grade aluminum are your pots, pans and cooking sheets. Non-food grade aluminum is your aluminum foil, disposable baking trays, and foil packets.
Is it safe to cook in aluminum foil trays?
Aluminum foil isn’t considered dangerous, but it can increase the aluminum content of your diet by a small amount. If you are concerned about the amount of aluminum in your diet, you may want to stop cooking with aluminum foil. However, the amount of aluminum that foil contributes to your diet is likely insignificant.
Is there a difference in baking time between glass and metal pans?
Something to keep in mind is that you should reduce baking temperature by 25 degrees and check the food often as it may be ready up to ten minutes earlier if you are substituting a glass dish for a metal baking pan. This is because glass doesn’t heat up as quickly as metal but will become very hot once heated up.
How do you bake in disposable aluminum pans?

Is metal or Pyrex better for baking?
Metal pans are better heat conductors than glass pans, meaning the food inside cooks more evenly. Most baking recipes for cakes, muffins, cupcakes, coffee cake, banana bread, and brownies call for metal bakeware.
Can I use Pyrex instead of baking pan?
So if you’re in a pinch and need to use glass or ceramic cookware for recipes that call for baking pans, reduce the baking temperature by about 25ºF. It’s also important to note some glassware such as Pyrex can be prone to thermal shock, meaning rapid change in temperature could cause your bakeware to shatter.
