Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the Rhodes Texas Dinner Rolls into fourths.
- In a bowl, mix the liquid hazelnut coffee creamer, maple syrup, melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Dip the roll pieces in the mixture and place them in a bundt pan sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Pour the remaining mixture over the layered rolls.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature until the rolls reach the top of the pan.
- Remove the plastic wrap and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes.
- Invert the baked bundt onto a serving platter.
- Drizzle with additional syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use day-old rolls as they soak up the mixture better without falling apart. If you don't have hazelnut coffee creamer, any flavored creamer or even milk can work as a substitute. Additionally, feel free to experiment with spices; a pinch of allspice or cardamom can add an interesting twist. For a different texture, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruits between the layers.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the French Toast Bundt warm, drizzled with additional maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet touch. It pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas for a refreshing contrast. For a more indulgent breakfast, consider serving alongside crispy bacon or sausage links, making it a delightful centerpiece for brunch gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, wrap the bundt in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. When ready to enjoy, reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare this French Toast Bundt ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the roll mixture and layer it in the bundt pan the night before. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. In the morning, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking.
What can I use instead of Rhodes Texas Dinner Rolls?
If you can't find Rhodes rolls, any similar soft bread rolls will work, such as Hawaiian rolls or even homemade bread. Just ensure they are soft and can absorb the liquid mixture well to achieve the desired texture.
How do I know when the bundt is done baking?
The bundt is done when it's golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you notice the top browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
