Notes

I don't think you'll need to do any freezing for these rolls but in case you made them just for yourself - you deserve it! - then YES they do freeze well.
Just pack into rigid sided freezer containers or double bag in freezer bags and they will keep up to 6 months.
Defrost in the fridge and then eat up.
