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 :)

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh yeast. Old yeast may not be active enough to raise the dough properly, resulting in dense, heavy rolls.
  • Activate the yeast properly. Before adding the yeast to the dough, proof it in warm water with a little sugar. This will help the yeast to become active and ensure that the dough rises properly.
  • Knead the dough well. Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This usually takes about 1 hour.
  • Roll the dough out evenly. When you roll out the dough, make sure to do it evenly so that the rolls are all the same size.
  • Fill the rolls generously. Don't be afraid to fill the rolls with plenty of caramel. The more caramel, the better!
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown. The rolls are done baking when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Caramel rolls are a delicious and indulgent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these rolls at home in no time. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give these caramel rolls a try. You won't be disappointed!
