- Not Preparing the Baking Dish: Neglecting to grease or add sauce to your baking dish may cause sticking. Always add a layer of Alfredo sauce at the bottom before placing the rolls.
- Crowding the Pan: Placing rolls too close together can lead to uneven cooking. Ensure there’s space between each roll for proper heat circulation.
