TOO EASY GOOEY CARAMEL ROLLS



Too Easy Gooey Caramel Rolls image

Easy, easy, easy! I can't count the compliments I've received from these. I used to take three of them to bake sales when I worked. They always sold first! They just look so yummy, people think you just had to work very hard and long on them! I got this recipe from my mom at least 30 yrs ago and my family has enjoyed them ever since! I was out of pecans once and the kids begged for them so I made them anyway and they were almost as good. If you have a timer on your stove, you can set it for the baking time to begin and end. The wonderful aroma will wake you up! Set your alarm anyway,,don't want to ruin a good thing! I hope this becomes a family favorite of yours too. Also, the first time you make them, watch them closely not to over or undercook the rolls. use 1 large round platter or pizza pan covered with foil. They look awesome on a fancy platter

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (22 count) package rhodes frozen dinner rolls (or your favorite brand)
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box butterscotch pudding mix (NOT instant)
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
3/4-1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup pecan pieces (or more)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • All this is done the night before: spray your bundt pan well and place evenly the frozen rolls in pan. Sprinkle the dry butterscotch pudding (instant will not work) evenly on top of rolls and sprinkle pecan pieces over pudding powder (add pecans 2nd, not last).
  • Heat the butter to just melted, not hot in microwave and stir in brown sugar. If the butter is too hot, the brown sugar will separate and be hard to blend together pour brown sugar/butter syrup over rolls evenly.
  • That's it!
  • Place bundt pan in the cold oven overnight.
  • When you arise the next morning, set the oven temp to 325°F
  • Check the rolls FIRST before turning oven on to see if they rose over the top of the bundt pan. If they did, push the rolls hanging over back GENTLY.
  • Don't remove rolls while the oven is heating, leave inches.
  • Bake about 25 minutes until rolls seem firm on top and done in the middle, but don't over bake.
  • Remove bundt pan from oven and let cool 5-10 minutes in pan (I usually wait only 5 minutes).
  • Have ready a platter or pizza pan (holes covered) big enough to hold the rolls being careful not to burn yourself, place platter over the top of Bundt pan and quickly invert.
  • Do this over the counter top so if some spills, it won't get on the floor.
  • All that's left is to enjoy!
  • Company or family will think you slaved hours, it looks so yummy.
  • This is great for bake sales also.
  • Tip: don't put over 22-24 at most rolls in the pan.
  • I always use just 22.
  • Any more and they will rise over the top of the pan and hang over.
  • If this happens, while rolls are cooling, carefully push back the edges of the rolls and gently push down on the top of them.
  • I use more butter and sugar than other recipes because my family really likes alot of caramel.
  • However, you could cut back the butter to 1/2 stick and the sugar 1/2 cup.
  • I just prefer too much to too little.
  • The caramel can be scooped up and put toward the middle rolls.

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. This means using real butter, fresh milk, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Make sure the yeast is fresh and active before using it. If you're not sure, you can test it by dissolving a small amount of it in warm water with a little sugar. If the yeast begins to foam and bubble, it's good to use.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will make the rolls light and airy.
  • When rolling out the dough, make sure it is not too thin. The ideal thickness is about 1/4 inch.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough, making sure to leave a small border around the edges. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from one long edge and working your way to the other. Pinch the edges together to seal the roll.
  • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise again until they have doubled in size. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve the rolls warm with your favorite glaze or frosting.

Conclusion:

These gooey caramel cinnamon rolls are the perfect way to start your day or indulge in a sweet treat. With their soft and fluffy dough, gooey caramel filling, and sweet cinnamon sugar topping, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or dessert, give these rolls a try. You won't be disappointed!
