Becky’s tips

NOTE: When I first made this I made it with regular cinnamon rolls and 8 fit into a 6x9-inch baking dish. When I made it again, I used 10 Grands in a 9x13-inch baking dish. You can do either!

Storage:Store cinnamon roll french toast bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
