help! frozen roll dough for cran-citrus pull-aparts???

[andrea- home]

hi all! emergency here...what is a 25 oz. pkg. frozen roll dough? i've seen tubes for "8 dinner rolls" but those are refrigerated and only 8-11 oz. has anyone made these cranberry citrus pull-aparts? what dough did you use?

thanks for any help!

I haven't made that recipe, but you can usually find frozen bread and/or roll dough near the breakfast foods (waffles,etc.). It is frozen bread dough that rises as you thaw it, then bake it. It comes in loaves and smaller bits for rolls.

I'm sorry I can't help you with the brand but I have made the rolls and we really enjoyed them. I actually made two pans and froze one for later, which worked out fine.

I've made the rolls too and thought they were positively decadent. They got HUGE in my oven and ended up a little overcooked,but still yummy. I found the frozen bread dough at my grocery store with the frozen phyllo dough, pie crusts, etc.

I also used Rhodes and, like everyone else who has posted, loved these rolls! Do try them!

[andrea]

"Rhodes" makes frozen roll dough in a variety of types, and is a very good buy.

I'm not sure if they're a midwestern brand or a national brand, though.

I haven't made these (although I've been meaning to try them)...but my mom has a fabulous sticky bun recipe that uses the same frozen rolls, and last time I tried to find them I had a really hard time. I think they're getting more rare - the stores seem to be moving more towards "fancier" frozen bread, like whole French bread loaves. My regular grocery store didn't have them at all, but I did find them at another store when I hunted. Good luck - and let us know how the pull-aparts turn out!

for the citris pull-aparts i used the frozen rolls that it called for, they are little round pieces of dough, but i make monkey bread, a CL recipe, w/ the frozen loaves & i found that i like that one better.

i, too, had problems making the pull-aparts, they became huge! & i didn't know if it could be the dough, because i never had a problem w/ the monkey bread.

if anything, i find, here in minnesota, that there are more & more kinds of frozen doughs, even wheat ones, besides the rhodes, there is our store brand, cub foods.

hope this helps, tammy/MN

Hi, I made the citrus pull aparts too. They were delicious. I used the Rhodes frozen dough as well which I found near the frozen desserts in the supermarket. I also substituted dried chopped apricots since I do not like craisins. It worked great. The recipe makes alot so I froze one for later. I agree, it does puff up alot, but if you make sure you use a 9 inch pan and put a piece of foil or something under the pan, you should not get a mess. They are worth it!

Hi there -- I made these rolls too and they were very tasty. I couldn't find Rhodes frozen bread dough, but my store (in VA, outside of DC) carried Bridgford. I found it near the frozen desserts. Mine puffed up nicely, but didn't get too huge -- perhaps due to the brand of dough I used. Good luck -- these are worth a little searching!

Andrea, if you haven't already, try Meiner's frozen foods aisle. If you don't find it there, Hy-Vee on State Line has a good frozen bread section. I know for sure Hy-Vee carries the Rhodes brand. Although I've not made this recipe, Rhodes is a good brand.

Description:
"Many of us at Cooking Light found this ooey-gooey bread absolutely
addictive. Sent to us by Rita M. Newton of Waukon, Iowa, it calls for
frozen bread dough, which means no fooling around with yeast. (From
our January/February 1995 issue)"
