Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a Bundt pan and cut the partially thawed frozen bread loaf into 7 sections.
- Place the bread sections into the prepared pan.
- Mix sugar, brown sugar, and cream together until well combined.
- Pour the sugar and cream mixture over the bread in the pan.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight.

- Bake the caramel rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let stand until the caramel sets, approximately 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use bread that is just partially thawed; this helps it hold shape while absorbing the caramel. If you don’t have cream, you can substitute with half-and-half or a mixture of milk and butter, although the texture may differ slightly. To add extra flavor, consider sprinkling some cinnamon over the bread before pouring the caramel mixture. These rolls are a great addition to your brunch spread alongside Cinnamon-Scented Rice Pudding.
Serving Suggestions
These caramel rolls are best served warm, straight from the oven. They pair well with a side of fresh fruit or a scoop of ice cream for a delightful dessert. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside savory dishes like Horseshoes or a light salad. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover caramel rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help maintain the soft texture of the rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of bread for this recipe?
Yes, you can use various types of bread such as brioche or Hawaiian rolls for a sweeter flavor. Just ensure they are partially thawed to allow for even baking and caramel absorption.
How can I make this recipe ahead of time?
You can prepare the rolls the night before by assembling them in the Bundt pan and pouring the caramel mixture over them. Cover and refrigerate overnight, then simply bake in the morning for a fresh, warm treat.
What can I do if the caramel is too runny?
If the caramel mixture appears too runny, you can cook it over low heat for a few minutes to thicken it up before pouring it over the bread. This will help achieve a perfect consistency that clings to the rolls.
