Time 2h32m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups lukewarm water
⅓ cup white sugar
2 (.25 ounce) packages instant yeast
6 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon salt
2 eggs
⅓ cup shortening, melted and cooled
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter
1 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Combine water, 1/3 cup white sugar, and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add 2 cups flour and salt; beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and cooled shortening; beat until incorporated, about 1 minute. Gradually stir in remaining flour with a spoon until dough is firm. Let dough rest, about 20 minutes.

  • Heat butter in a small saucepan over low heat until melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle 1 cup brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange rolls cut-side up, slightly apart, in the pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until rolls have doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from baking pan.
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Invert pan onto heatproof serving plate. Leave pan over rolls for 1 to 2 minutes; remove pan.

EASY OVERNIGHT OOEY-GOOEY PULL-APART CARAMEL ROLLS



Easy Overnight Ooey-Gooey Pull-Apart Caramel Rolls image

These should be illegal they are so darn delicious! --- for 16 rolls I suggest to use only a tube pan and do not use one with a removable middle, you could use a bundt pan but you will need to reduce the amount of yeast rolls to about 12 or they will rise over your bundt pan --- make certain to generously grease your pan, I use my recipe#78579 nothing will stick with this! --- start this the night before there is an overnight rising time -- do not use instant pudding for this :)

Categories     Breads

Time 8h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 unbaked frozen yeast dinner roll dough (reduce to 12 for a bundt pan)
1 (3 ounce) package regular butterscotch pudding mix (do not use instant)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or 1 1/2 cups walnuts
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • The night before; generously grease a tube pan (you MUST grease the pan VERY GENEROUSLY) if using a 12- cup bundt pan reduce the rolls to 12.
  • If using the cinnamon mix with the melted butter.
  • Sprinkle about 3/4 cup chopped nuts into the bottom of the pan.
  • Place the frozen rolls into the pan around and on top of each other over the nuts.
  • Sprinkle the dry pudding mix over the rolls, then sprinkle brown sugar over the pudding mix.
  • Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup chopped nuts over the brown sugar.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over all.
  • To prevent the dough from forming a hard crust while rising cover with a lightly damp tea towel over top, or place a piece of plastic wrap very loosely over the top and allow to hang at the sides (do not make the wrap tight as these will rise to double).
  • Allow to rise overnight at room temperature or about 8-10 hours.
  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes (baking times will vary for different ovens, so watch closely).
  • Remove the pan from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Turn the pan over and invert onto a serving plate.
  • Serve by pulling apart chunks with a fork.

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 12h35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 loaves of frozen bread dough
1/2 c butter
1 c slightly packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp milk
2 1/2-3 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 large (4 3/4 oz) box "cook & serve" vanilla pudding mix (not instant)

Steps:

  • 1. Let bread loaves partially thaw, but not rise. Cut or break one loaf into small pieces. Place on the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Cut up remaining loaf.
  • 2. Combine butter, sugar, cinnamon (if using), milk, and pudding mix in a saucepan over medium/low heat, stirring to combine. Heat until smooth and butter is melted (warm, but not hot)
  • 3. Pour over bread dough in pan. Arrange remaining dough pieces over the top evenly. Cover with saran wrap sprayed with non stick spray. Let rise in fridge, or away from any direct heat, overnight (it may rise a bit over the top of the pan).
  • 4. Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes. If the top starts to get dark, place a piece of aluminum foil over (lightly, not tight) so the middle can fully cook, but the top won't burn. When cooked, invert the pan onto a serving platter or cookie sheet. The caramel will run down the sides, lift off the pan. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients, especially the yeast and milk. Fresh ingredients will help ensure that your rolls rise properly and have a delicious flavor.
  • Make sure your kitchen is warm and draft-free. This will help the dough rise properly.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the rolls chewy and tender.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help the rolls develop their flavor and texture.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the rolls warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.

Conclusion:

Caramel rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of homemade caramel rolls that will be sure to impress your family and friends.
