Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
Microwaveable bacon is pre-cooked. Using raw bacon will result in extremely greasy, inedible cinnamon rolls.
You can use regular bacon, but you’ll have to alter the recipe a bit. Cook the bacon first, then crumble it. Add a layer of crumbled bacon to the unrolled cinnamon roll rather than slices of microwave bacon.
Add heavy whipping cream to the bottom of the pan makes super-rich cinnamon rolls. The dough absorbs the cream as it bakes.
