Caramel Pull Apart Bread

Bread:
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, optional 
20 frozen roll dough (like Rhodes)  I use the 1 hour recipe found in breads.



Frosting:
1 cube butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
milk


1.  In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved.  Add the pecans if using.  Pour into a greased 9x13x2 inch baking pan.

2.  Top with frozen roll dough.  Let raise for about 5 hours (or overnight if desired).  When rolls have raised bake at 350℉ for about 20 minutes until rolls are browned and cooked through.  Invert onto a serving platter or cookie sheet.  Whip butter.  Add vanilla, powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk to make a soft butter cream icing.  Drizzle icing over bread and serve warm.

In a large bowl thoroughly mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and undissolved yeast. Combine water, milk, and butter in a saucepan. Heat over low heat until liquids are very warm (120-130º). Butter does not need to melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1/2 c. flour. Beat at thigh speed two minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel, let rest twenty minutes.

Punch dough down. Shape into desired shapes for dinner rolls and place on sprayed baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled. (Approx. 30-40 minutes.) Bake @ 350º for 15 minutes

Freezer method: Place on greased baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap and foil, sealing well. Freeze until firm, transfer to plastic bags. Freeze up to four weeks. Remove from freezer, place on greased baking sheets. Cover, let rise in warm place, free from draft until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Bake at 350º for fifteen minutes or until golden brown and done. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
