Weezie's pull-aparts

Spray 9x12 pan, Layer pan with frozen sweet bread dough (thawd). Pull the dough apart into small pieces and put in bottom of pan.

Mix together - 1 stick softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 large package vanilla pudding (cook and serve), 2 Tablespoons milk. Pour over dough.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover the dough and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown and center is not doughy.

Here are a couple of hints we've learned over the years:

I put down one layer of dough and then pour the mixture and then put down another layer in between the other dough.

You don't really need to measure out the topping - we add a ton of brown sugar - at least two cups, because the more the better! We also add at least a 1/4 of milk it makes it nice and creamy.

The store sells frozen loaves or buns of sweet dough - I usually get the buns. I also let them thaw over night - it often explodes, so don't be alarmed in the morning if you've got a huge pile of dough on your counter.

Cooking times of course vary - sometimes they are done in 25 minutes, sometimes 45 - so check often.

My dad likes to use dark brown sugar and half and half to make them extra rich. He also likes to add nuts to them, so you can put them on the pan before you pour the mixture on the dough.

If you have any questions, just ask! Do not however eat a whole pan in one sitting - Alli and Angie can tell you that you will get sick!
