E-Z Slow Cooker Dinner Rolls

I've had this ready to go in my drafts for a very long while.  Just happened to see it again, so just HAD to share this fabulous idea with you!

I used frozen roll dough balls and 'baked' them in the crockpot.  You can also 'raise' them too! 

It worked so nicely, and my rolls even browned in the slow cooker?  Even if yours don't you can brown them under the broiler briefly before serving.

This really is an amazing concept and I love that it frees the oven up to bake other things. 

Perfect for a busy holiday meal...or when you don't want to turn the oven on!

SLOW COOKER DINNER ROLLS 

Thaw frozen (Rhodes) rolls or make your own dough. 
(Or do as Kelli does here at the Kelli's Retro Kitchen...she 'raises' the rolls in the crockpot from a frozen state too....it's almost magical!!) 

Line crockpot with parchment paper then spray with cooking spray. 

Place thawed shaped rolls about 3/4" apart inside crockpot, being sure they have room to expand. 

When ready to bake, place two paper towels over the top of the crockpot, before placing on lid, to catch the moisture. 

Turn crockpot on high and check the rolls after about 1 hour. (Since crockpots tend to cook differently, the time will vary - mine took about 1 hr. and 15 minutes). Rolls are done when they are set and no longer sticky.  Rolls should be soft.   Carefully remove from crockpot.

Brush tops with butter and if they are not brown enough, (mine were nice and brown) remove from crock and place on cookie sheet; broil until crust is browned. 

I baked 5 rolls inside my 3-qt. crockpot. Add rolls according to size of crock.

PERFECT FOR CHRISTMAS MORNING...or any day of the year! 

When my hubby picked up a few things at the grocery store, using a coupon for Rhodes frozen rolls, I was elated when he came home with a BIG bag!

They are soo tasty and I am soo excited about this wonderful recipe! Thanks a thousand times over to Monica at The Yummy Life for being willing to share this treasured recipe!  I am certainly a big fan of hers!! Be sure to pop over (I made a punny!) to check out her lovely tutorial for this special dish.

I used part xylitol to reduce the sugar content.  They are very simple to make. Generously grease the pan with butter, sprinkle with nuts, and it becomes a gooey nutty topping that is amazing!

MAKE AHEAD PULL APART STICKY BUNS

 1-1/4 c. chopped pecans 

 3/4 c. butter

2 lbs. frozen bread dough (24 frozen dinner rolls, or 2 1-lb. loaves, thawed for 1/2 an hour), cut into 12 evenly-sized pieces)

1-1/2 c. sugar

(I used 1/2 c. sugar/1 c. xylitol)

2 Tb. cinnamon

(I use Pampered Chef blend, and used a tad less)

Generously butter a 9" X 13" baking dish. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan.

In small bowl, blend sugar and cinnamon until evenly mixed. Melt butter (I use a mug or glass measuring cup in the microwave). Dip each roll in butter, then in the cinnamon/sugar mixture; lay evenly over top of nuts. (6 the long way, 4 across). Combine remaining butter with cinnamon/sugar and spread evenly over top of rolls. (It may clump, but will bake evenly). 

Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Let rise until doubled (see options below). Bake 350 for 40 - 45 minutes, uncovered, until brown. (If browning too quickly, cover with foil for the last 15 minutes or so of baking time...watch carefully.  This recipe can become a 'work of art' if timing is perfect). 

Remove from oven, let stand in pan for about 5 minutes; invert onto serving tray. (I covered a cookie sheet with non stick foil). Serve warm!

Get ready to be bombarded with OOOOHHS AND AAAAHHS! 

Monica gave me permission to share the rising options from her website:

 *MAKE AHEAD RISING METHODS (times may vary depending on the temperature of your house)
1. Assemble the night before, leave out to rise overnight (6-8 hours), and bake first thing in the morning.
2. Assemble 20-24 hours in advance, put in the fridge to partially rise. The next day, remove from fridge and allow to rise at room temperature for 2-3 hours before baking.
3. Assemble 44-48 hours in advance, put  in the fridge to rise. Remove from fridge and warm to room temperature for 45 minutes before baking.
