Ultimate Caramel Rolls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ultimate Caramel Rolls.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a small bowl and mix together some white sugar and ground cinnamon.

2. Step 2

   Set this delightful blend aside for later.

3. Step 3

   Next, take one thawed loaf of bread dough and roll it out into a large rectangle.

4. Step 4

   Brush half of the melted butter evenly over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle half of your cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, creating a sweet, aromatic layer.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to roll! Starting from the long edge closest to you, gently roll the dough into a log shape.

6. Step 6

   With a sharp serrated knife, slice the log into 1-inch pieces, placing each slice cut-side up in an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan.

7. Step 7

   Repeat this process with the second loaf of dough, filling your pan with these sweet spirals of goodness.

8. Step 8

   Now, let’s make a luscious caramel sauce.

9. Step 9

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and half a cup of melted butter.

10. Step 10

    Stir the mixture until everything is melted and beautifully blended, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

11. Step 11

    Once it’s ready, pour this warm caramel sauce over the rolls in the baking pan, letting it seep into every nook and cranny.

12. Step 12

    Cover the pan with aluminum foil and pop it in the refrigerator.

13. Step 13

    Let the rolls rest until they double in size, which can take anywhere from 8 hours to overnight.

14. Step 14

    This is the perfect time to dream about the deliciousness that awaits you! When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

15. Step 15

    Once the oven is hot, bake the rolls until they turn a gorgeous golden brown, which should take about 30 minutes.

16. Step 16

    The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist! After baking, allow the rolls to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving.

17. Step 17

    Enjoy the warm, gooey goodness of your homemade cinnamon rolls, and don’t forget to share with friends and family—or keep them all to yourself!.
