Frozen bread dough makes this ooey-gooey breakfast treat a snap to make. I have used this for Christmas because I can prepare it the night before, which allows me to join the family in seeing what Santa left under the tree.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) cinnamon
24 - frozen dough balls (one loaf--divided)
1 stick(s) butter
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) cinnamon

Steps:

About 8 hours before serving, or night before, combine first two ingredients in a bowl.
Remove 24 frozen dough balls from freezer and wet them slightly before adding to sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Stir to coat and dump into a bundt pan sprayed with cooking spray.
Melt butter and add remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour over dough.
Cover with a towel and let rise 8 hours or overnight.
Bake 350 for about 30 minutes.
Place large plate on top and invert bread onto plate.
Let cool only long enough that you don\'t get burned - this is best when hot.
For dough balls: defrost one store-bought frozen bread dough loaf just until it can be cut through it with a knife (about 1 1/2 hours), then divide into 24 equal pieces and then freeze and store in ziploc bag until needed.
