A while back, I posted this recipe on Marv's TR tread:
Cinnamon Bun Coffee Cake
1 package Rich's (or other brand) dough balls
1 package vanilla pudding (cook and serve, not instant)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 stick butter (or margarine)
Grease 10" tube (bundt) pan. Sprinkle raisins or nuts on bottom. (Although I dont. Yuck.) Place (frozen) dough balls around the pan on top of rainsins and nuts. Sprinkle with mixture of vanilla pudding, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Top with one stick of melted butter. Leave out on counter and cover with a small towel. Let dough rise for 10-12 hours. Bake 1/2 hour at 350 degrees.
You may find it helpful to put a piece of aluminum foil loosely on top when baking to avoid browning the bottom too much.
Actually, I posted it as a joke....in an attempt to turn Marv's thread into a cooking forum. But, I really do make it on occasion, and it is the extent of my baking skills. Last night, we were expecting ice accumulation overnight so I figured there'd be a school delay (which there was) and I thought it'd be a good time to make some. Here are some pictures from my phone.
The "dough balls" I found in our grocery store. These are just dinner rolls, I'm not sure if "Rich's" are something different, but these worked fine.
Everything ready to be put together. The dry ingredients (sugar, cinnamon, and pudding mix) in a bowl at the bottom and the melted butter in a bowl to the left. First, I put just one package of dough balls in, but it just didn't seem like enough, so I put in a second bag. Then I took 6 out. Then I said, "Oh what the heck" and put the 6 back in. So, I've got 2 bags-worth in here. We'll see how that turns out.
After the dry ingredients have been sprinkled in and the butter poured over.
I covered it with a dish towel, and let it rise overnight. I came down this morning to this:
Okay, so maybe next time I'll go with a bag and a half.
Then, during the baking we had a little mix-up. I set the timer to go off early so I could check it. Judy was in the kitchen when it went off and thought that it meant it was done. She flipped it out onto a plate and found that it was still mushy. She tried to get it back into the pan (that must have been a sight) and put it back in for 10 minutes but didn't think it would work. It still turned out okay, but would've been better if it had been allowed to bake fully the first time.
The finished product.
Wait, I thought Marv's TR was the "official" baking thread????
Glen, this sounds very yummy.
