Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf frozen Rhodes white bread
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix

Instructions
 

Roll the Dough

  • Once your frozen Rhodes bread loaf is thawed, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. It doesn’t have to be perfect!

Add the Filling

  • Spread softened butter generously all over the dough. Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and dry vanilla pudding mix evenly across the surface.

Optional Nuts

  • Want a little crunch? Sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the filling.

Roll & Slice

  • Starting from the long side, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Seal the edge with a bit of butter, then use dental floss or a sharp knife to slice into even rolls.

Let Them Rise

  • Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover them with plastic wrap and let them rise until doubled in size. This can take a few hours, so be patient—it’s worth it.

Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls are puffed and ready, bake them for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and delicious-smelling.

Cool & Serve

  • Let the rolls cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Don’t forget to scrape up any gooey caramel from the bottom and drizzle it over the top!
