Notes
To freeze before baking: after you have rolled your puff pastry with the cinnamon filling inside. Freeze the pastry as either a log or cut it into 2cm sections. Then place it in a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
When you're ready to eat it, continue with the recipe and bake it in the oven for 20 minutes or until fully baked and golden brown.
To freeze cinnamon swirls after baking: once baked, allow the cinnamon swirls to cool down completely. Take the baking tray with the cinnamon swirls and place it in the freezer until frozen.
Once frozen, place in individual freezer bags or in one freezer bag for up to a month. When you're ready to eat it, reheat in the oven at 180°C (160°C Fan, gas mark 4) until warmed thoroughly throughout.
To make cinnamon swirls in advance: You can make cinnamon swirls ahead of time! Follow the recipe and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Eat them as they are, or you can reheat in the oven to gently warm them up.
