Rhubarb Rolls

Love the recipe. I didn’t use all the syrup though.

I will make 2 changes to the recipe the next time I make there. 1. I will put the rhubarb through the food processor and 2. I will use 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water for the sauce. I did not use all of the sauce and found that it was still too juicy. What I did do that was not in the recipe, I combined the fruit and sugar and let them soak overnight in the refrigerator. Takes the bitterness out of the fruit. Overall, delicious! And easy to make.

My husband loved these. The only suggestion I have is to let the rhubarb and sugar Drain before putting the rhubarb on the dough. Then add that juice to your simple syrup that you made and pour it all over the rolls. It saves from making a mess and trying to get your rolls to roll up and not fall apart. Otherwise yummy!! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

It was good, but the syrup was way too sweet. I will make less syrup next time, as there was so much it didn’t soak up into the rolls, and also less % of sugar in it. I was skeptical, as it was a quick-bread with baking powder instead of yeast, and then it turned into more of a crust recipe than a dough recipe. But it was good. Everyone did like it and had 2nds, so I’ll make it again.

My mom made a similar recipe called Rhubarb Roly-poly, so I’ve loved this since I was a kid. We always serve with heavy cream, but ice cream also works. I agree it is a mess, but I’ve learned to get the dough ready (I just use my hands to push it out as I find that is easier than rolling sticky dough), then mix the rhubarb, sugar and cinnamon and immediately put on the dough and roll up. I’ve also found working on wax paper helps, along with using a dough scraper.

this might be the best way I have ever eaten rhubarb. wow.

Looks good in the pan, but has the texture and taste of a cobbler. Next time I’ll go with a yeast dough like a traditional cinnamon roll.

A very similar recipe to one I used to use but unfortunately lost, and proved to be a good replacement. Be sure to use fresh rhubarb not frozen, mine turned out quite wet.

I used brown sugar inside the rolls instead of white. Delicious!

I changed to a Bread Machine dough but love this filling. Put Rhubarb in the glaze for sure

Delicious! I made it in a 9×9 pan since the rolls weren’t big enough to fill a 9×13 tray. I only used about 1/4 of the water/sugar/butter mixture in combination with the rhubarb juices (see below for explanation). I combined the dough ingredients using a food processor adding the milk little by little (I ended up using a little less than the suggested amount). Unlike some other reviews, I didn’t find it too sticky; however, I did let it chill in the fridge while I assembled the filling. I pulsed the rhubarb in the food processor to save on time, but it did add a lot of liquid into the mix. For that reason I used a slotted spoon when dressing the rolls and pour any excess rhubarb liquid on top of the rolls (before baking) for flavour

If I could go higher than 5…I would. These are wonderful. I did a couple changes. When you add the rhubarb to the sugar & cinnamon it immediately starts to ooze, so I sprinkled the sugar mixture onto the dough and then put my rhubarb on the dough. I also added some cardamon to the sugar mixture, about 1t., and add a little red food coloring to the simple syrup. It just give the rolls a bright, cheery, pink color. These are absolutely wonderful rolls. Another suggestion….I use either dental floss or fishing line to cut my rolls, give a nice, smooth, clean cut!!!

Made this just as written…my family wasn’t too impressed but I really liked them…they were a bit hard to roll up and I thought it would be too much rhubarb but once it cooked down it was perfect. I’d make these again- just would choose a different crowd to serve them to!

Followed it to a T. Very easy and very tasty. Not super sweet. It is just perfect. The dough is very easy to work with. I will make it again and again.Great recipe! Please use a stand mixer if you have one the dough went together real well in mine. It was so easy to flatten out. Very quick to make. Best way to use rhubarb!

I was unsure how this recipe would turn out, but it was great in spite of a significant error that I made (adding the sugar to the chopped rhubarb too soon). I didn’t realize that the sugar would pull SO much liquid out of the rhubarb SO quickly! So, don’t do what I did — make sure that you add the sugar to the rhubarb just seconds before you place it on the dough! These rhubarb roles were a great hit and tasted just as good the next day. I will definitely make these again — and these rhubarb roles motivated me even more strongly to grow my own rhubarb next year!

I just got a whole bunch of fresh rhubarb and was looking for fun new recipes to try. I saw this one and decided to try it out. It was delicious, easy to make and everybody really really enjoyed it.

I did not find the dough sticky once I put flour underneath it and on my rolling pin. It was messy rolling it, juice was running out of the sides and it did seem like way too much liquid before going in the oven but it did soak it all up. I found it had a bit of a soggy bottom s if you are expecting something similar to a cinnamon roll, it’s pretty different. It was still very good and a nice change from rhubarb muffins. Would be delicious with vanilla ice cream! I may try it with a tad bit less syrup next time just for personal preferance.

Oh wow! More dishes than I like to wash for one recipe, but these were quite a treat. Followed a helpful review to add more 2 cups rhubarb with the water for the syrup and simmered until tender before adding the 1 cup sugar. The rolls were still very sweet but had just a touch of tart. I also used 2 drops red food coloring to give the sauce a slight pink hue. Rolled the dough out on a floured pastry cloth- no problem with stickiness. Biscuit-type rolls were tender and moist but not soggy. I’m freezing my rhubarb in 5 cup increments for future Rhubarb Rolls!

Very tasty, but messy, messy, messy to make! Be sure not to toss the rhubarb in the sugar until right before you roll the rolls up or you will end up with syrup running all over your counter. I only got 9 rolls out of the dough, and used a 9×9 instead.

kind of messy to make but taste great

Yum!!
