I got this recipe from my aunt. It's a Christmas morning tradition and always a hit at church. We sometimes add chopped pecans before we bake.

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 :)

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

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!
