Bread Dough Treat

Introduction

This Bread Dough Treat is a warm, comforting dessert that’s incredibly easy to make using frozen bread dough and a slow cooker. With rich brown sugar, buttery goodness, and a hint of cinnamon, it transforms into a soft, pull-apart style treat with a gooey caramel-like sauce. Perfect for family gatherings, cozy evenings, or whenever you crave something sweet with minimal effort.

Ingredients (Servings: 8–10)

• 2 frozen raw bread dough loaves (about 1 pound each), still frozen or slightly thawed
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prepare the slow cooker
   Spray the inside of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter.
2. Add the dough
   Place the frozen bread dough loaves in the bottom of the slow cooker. They can touch or overlap slightly, but keep them flat.
3. Mix the sugar and cinnamon
   In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing until evenly blended.
4. Add butter
   Pour the melted butter over the dough, coating as much surface as possible.
5. Add the cinnamon-sugar mixture
   Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Some will fall to the bottom—this helps create the gooey caramel sauce.
6. Cook
   Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, until the dough is fully cooked, puffed, and golden around the edges.
7. Rest
   Turn the slow cooker to WARM and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
8. Serve
   Scoop out portions or pull apart pieces with tongs. Spoon the caramel sauce from the bottom over each serving. Serve warm.
