Time 1h10m

Yield 6 stickies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
One 12.4-ounce tube cinnamon rolls with frosting (such as Pillsbury)
All-purpose flour, for rolling
Vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
One 12.4-ounce tube cinnamon rolls with frosting (such as Pillsbury)
All-purpose flour, for rolling
Vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the sugar, syrup, 4 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool.
  • Open the tube of cinnamon rolls while keeping all the rolls together in a log. Press it flat with your hands. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the block of dough into a 12-by-6-inch rectangle.
  • Stir together the frosting from the tube of rolls with 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl until smooth and spreadable. Spoon the frosting mixture evenly in a line close to the long edge of the rectangle closest to you. Starting with that side, roll the dough away from you and back into a log, ending with the log seam side-down. Lightly press together the open ends of the log to seal them.
  • Lightly roll the new dough log back and forth under your hands until you have a 24-inch rope. Fold the rope in half, stretch it gently to elongate it some more, then twist it once and fold it in half once more. Transfer the dough coil to a greased 9-by-5 inch loaf pan that is 2 1/2 inches deep and then pour half the brown-sugar maple sauce over the top of the coil, making sure it's completely coated. Cover the pan with foil and bake until the dough is cooked in the center, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and immediately invert and unmold the dough coil onto a cutting board. Cut the dough crosswise into six 1 1/2-inch wide slices. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the slices cut side-down to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip the slices, cook for 1 minute more, then transfer to a plate. Serve the stickies while warm with the remaining brown sugar-maple sauce drizzled over the top. If you like, top with stickies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the sugar, syrup, 4 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 loaf bread, sliced 1/2 - 1 inch thick (I use 16 oz. of my favorite bread such as French bread, Hawaiian bread or cinnamon swirl bread)
5 eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish ( I use an large oval glass baking dish). Slice bread and place one even layer into dish, squeezing bread in if necessary; set aside. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, half and half, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla till well combined. Pour mixture evenly over the bread. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and chill overnight. In morning remove baking dish from refrigerator and uncover. In a small pan melt butter. Add brown sugar, corn syrup and pecans (if using). When all has melted and combined take off heat and evenly pour caramel topping over the soaked bread. Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven about 45 minutes, or until puffed, bubbly and golden brown. Let sit 10-15 minutes before serving. ( I like to keep a cookie sheet or a piece of tin foil under the baking dish while cooking because once in a while this likes to bubble over on you). Also if you would like it to be extra sticky and gooey double the recipe for the caramel topping.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread or rolls for the best texture. Fresh bread will be too soft and will fall apart in the casserole.
  • If you don't have time to let the bread or rolls stale, you can toast them in the oven for a few minutes to dry them out.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread or rolls. Challah, brioche, and croissants all make great French toast casseroles.
  • Be generous with the butter and sugar when you're coating the bread or rolls. This will help to create a crispy, caramelized crust.
  • Don't overmix the egg mixture. Just whisk it until the eggs and milk are combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bread or rolls and let it soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread or rolls to absorb the egg mixture and become custardy.
  • Bake the casserole in a preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the center is set. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Sticky bun French toast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make a sticky bun French toast casserole that is sure to impress your friends and family.
