  • 1 3 1/2 ounce pkg instant vanilla pudding
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In small bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar.
  2. Stir until dissolved and set aside.
  3. In large bowl, mix pudding according to package instructions with milk.
  4. Add 1/2 cup melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix well, then add yeast mixture and blend well.
  5. Gradually add flour and knead until smooth.
  6. Place in a very large greased bowl.
  7. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size.
  8. Punch down and let rise again for second time.
  9. Roll dough on a very large floured surface.
  10. Dough should roll out to a long rectangle, about 34 x 21 inches in size.
  11. Take the 1 cup of melted butter and use a pastry brush to spread over entire dough surface.
  12. In small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  13. Sprinkle over top of buttered dough. Roll dough up like a jelly roll.
  14. Measure dough every 2 inches and cut with a knife.

  17. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  18. Bake until golden brown in color, about 15-20 minutes.
