CARAMEL RECIPE FOR CARAMEL ROLLS RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix water and yeast and wait 5 minutes.
• Stir in sugar, salt and 2 cups of flour.
• Add egg and butter and mix.
• Stir in rest of flour by hand, if dough is still sticky add just enough to make it not sticky anymore.
• Let raise until dough is double in size.
• Sprinkle flour on surface and roll dough out until is approx 18 X 12 inches.
• Spread a very thin layer of soft butter on dough and sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture on it.
• Roll dough from the long side, it should look like a log.
• Cut into 1 inch pieces.
• Should be 18 pieces.
• Place brown sugar and butter into microwave dish and heat until butter is just melted; stir well.
• Stir in 3 T water.
• Divide mixture into 3 pans (8-inch cake pans).
• Place 6 pieces in each pan.
• Let raise for about 45 minutes.
• Bake for 20 minutes in a 325°F oven.
• When you take out of oven, turn each pan of rolls over on a plate, otherwise you will have a hard time getting them out when they cool.
• If you can, let them cool slightly and enjoy them when they are still warm.

Steps:

• Mix white sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
• Roll out 1 thawed loaf into a large rectangle. Brush half of the melted butter evenly over dough. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over butter. Roll up dough into a log starting with the long edge closest to you. Cut log into 1-inch slices with a sharp serrated knife. Arrange slices cut-side up in an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Repeat step 2 with second thawed loaf.
• Combine brown sugar, vanilla ice cream, and 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir until melted and well-blended, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour caramel mixture over rolls in the baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate until rolls double, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
