Kerrygold Basic Breakfast Sticky Buns

 

     Many of you may be entertaining house guests for Thanksgiving or are just looking for something special to make for the holiday, these Sticky Buns from Kerrygold are by far one of the easiest and most scrumptious things I have ever made in my dutch oven.  The hardest part is remembering when to take the loaf of bread out of the freezer.
      Mistakenly, I poured the melted butter into my dutch oven before I added the the parchment paper.  They baked wonderfully without it but if you don't remove the buns immediately from your oven after baking, the bottom layer of caramel will harden like cement.  If you line your oven, you can lift them out together and invert them easily onto a platter, gooey topping and all.  Once I removed the rolls and scooped out the topping, I quickly washed my dutch oven under hot water while it was still warm and had no problem removing the caramel. 
     The rolls baked for 22 minutes with 12 coals in a ring around the bottom, 18 placed along the outside of the lid with 8 spaced evenly in the center.  You can add chopped pecans, walnuts, pears, apples, or cranberries to the bottom layer, you are only limited by your imagination.  I thawed a loaf of Rhodes bread dough in the refrigerator before rolling it out on the counter and with the cold weather, it took a good 2 hours for them to rise.  It goes without saying that these must be eaten while warm and preferably in two bites so you can instantly go back for another. 
     Thank you all for following my blog and I wish you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving!
