What went wrong? Cinnamon rolls collapse in fridge after shaping and proofing

Toast

Hi,

 

I shaped and cut my cinnamon rolls, placed them into my pan and then allowed them to sit out on the counter. Once they began rising I covered them and placed them in the fridge overnight as I wanted to bake them off fresh the following morning. 

 

When I woke up and looked at my buns they were deflated, had completely lost their beautiful clean shape and the dough even looked dry around some of the edges :( never had this before, what did I do wrong? 

 

Thank you and happy holidays! 

When I make mine to proof overnight in the fridge, I don't allow any rise at all on the counter after they are shaped and I often cut the yeast back to 3/4 or even half of what the recipe calls for. As well, check the temperature on your fridge, it might be a tad warm. I keep mine at 38F. Those are few things for you to look at next time you make them.
