Ingredients
Instructions
- Pinch off walnut-sized balls from the first loaf of bread dough and place them in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Mix margarine, brown sugar, heated milk, and vanilla pudding; pour half of this mixture over the first layer of dough balls.
- Pinch off the second loaf of bread dough and place it on top of the first layer.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped walnuts on top of the assembled dough.
- Bake until golden and bubbly (baking time not specified).
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. If you want to add a twist, try incorporating a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the wet mixture. Ensure the milk is heated but not boiling to prevent curdling. If you don't have walnuts, pecans or almonds can be excellent substitutes. Adjust the cinnamon to your taste; a pinch of nutmeg can also enhance the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These Pinch Sticky Rolls are perfect for brunch or as a sweet treat with coffee or tea. Serve them warm, drizzled with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk for added sweetness. They pair beautifully with Lemon And Vanilla Ice Cream for a delightful dessert combination. Consider serving fresh fruit on the side for a refreshing contrast.

Store leftover sticky rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual rolls for about 15-20 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant pudding instead of regular pudding?
No, this recipe specifically calls for regular (non-instant) pudding to achieve the desired texture and flavor. Instant pudding will not create the same consistency and may affect the overall outcome of the rolls.
How long should I bake the rolls?
While the exact baking time is not specified, start checking for doneness around 25-30 minutes at 350°F. The rolls should be golden brown and bubbly. If they are browning too quickly, you can cover them with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls the night before. Assemble them in the pan, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking. This allows for a fresh, warm treat without much morning hassle.
