I mentioned that we made personal pizzas on Sunday for dinner. Well, I overestimated a little and had over two dozen extra dough rolls that we didn’t use. Since they were already thawed out, I decided to go ahead and put them to good use. I went to the Rhodes Rolls website, and found an easy recipe suggestion for Sweet Knots:
1. Roll the dough into a rope.
2. Roll rope in melted butter
3. Roll in sugar
4. Tie rope into a knot
5. Fold edges under and place dough into a greased muffin tin.
6. Let dough rise until double in size
7. Bake at 350ºF for about 13 minutes, or until deeply golden brown. Remove from pan immediately, and let each roll cool on cooing rack.
They’re sweet and flavorful inside and out, without using extra butter or sugar. One precaution: there is such a thing as too much of the butter/sugar combo. If loaded on too heavily, it creates a thick glaze that makes the bread tough to chew. Still, be generous with these ingredients.
What do you do when you have leftover dough?

Mmm…sounds good and easy!
You put it in freezer bags. Then the night before a big meal, put it in a olive oil coated bread pan, set it in the oven to rise over night. If it rises too high, Shape it in a circle on an Olive oiled cookie sheet or divide in to another bread pan. Bake at 350 degree until it starts to brown. At this point it is optional to brush tops with oil before completing the browning of the tops. Bread from Sweetened dough is sold in stores by the name of Hawaiian sweet bread or rolls.
Another thing is you can make cinnamon swirl / raisin bread, by adding raisins to the dough, before rising, Carefully split the dough with your hands after rising, and have someone sprinkle lightly sugared cinnamon in the pulled apart dough, Do this in different directions lightly closing the gaps, then follow directions above. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your comment, Jill! Great ideas! I will have to give them a try! Thanks for sharing!
