It was a tradition that added a sprinkle of magic to our family gatherings. Those unforgettable moments of gathering around the table, pulling apart that warm, gooey, sweet cinnamon bread in the morning, are etched into my memory.

Ingredients:

Before we begin, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:

• 2 loaves of frozen bread dough, thawed (1 lb. each)

• 1 cup packed brown sugar

• 3/4 cup butter, cubed

• 1 package of cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix (3 oz.)

• 2 tablespoons of 2% milk

• 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Prepping the Dough:

Start by cutting the thawed bread dough into 1-inch pieces. Then, place these pieces in a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.

2. Creating the Sweet Cinnamon Sauce:

In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cubed butter, cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix, milk, and ground cinnamon. Bring this delectable mixture to a boil while stirring continuously. Once it's reached a rolling boil, cook and stir for an additional minute before removing it from the heat.

3. Pouring the Sweet Sauce:

Now, it's time to pour this irresistible, sweet cinnamon sauce over the pieces of dough in your baking dish. Make sure it's evenly distributed, so every bite is as delightful as the last.

4. Rising Time:

Cover your baking dish loosely with parchment or nonstick foil and let it rise in a warm place until the dough is almost doubled in size. This usually takes about 45 minutes.

5. Baking Perfection:

While your dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen to your satisfaction, remove the covering and bake it, uncovered, in the preheated oven. Keep a watchful eye on it, and when it turns a beautiful golden brown, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes, it's time to take it out.

6. The Grand Reveal:

Right after baking, quickly invert the baking dish onto a serving plate. This will reveal the mouthwatering, gooey, sweet cinnamon goodness that you've been patiently waiting for.
