Best Ever Caramel Rolls

Recipe View In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the white sugar and cinnamon. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View On a lightly floured surface, roll out one thawed loaf of bread dough into a large rectangle. Brush half of the melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered surface. Starting with the long edge closest to you, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Using a sharp, serrated knife, carefully cut the log into 1-inch slices. Arrange the slices, cut-side up, in an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan. (Prep time: 20 minutes)

Recipe View Repeat step 2 with the second thawed loaf of bread dough. (Prep time: 20 minutes)

Recipe View In a small saucepan set over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, vanilla ice cream, and remaining 1/2 cup of butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and well-blended, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Pour this luscious caramel mixture evenly over the rolls in the baking pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the rolls to double in size. (Prep time: 10 minutes + 8 hours refrigeration)

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the rolls are beautifully golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving. This brief cooling period allows the caramel to thicken slightly. (Bake time: 30 minutes + 10 minutes cooling)
