These Simplicity Caramel Rolls are the ultimate comfort food, combining the convenience of frozen dough with homemade richness. The base features a luscious layer of brown sugar and whipping cream that bubbles into a sticky caramel sauce during baking, studded with crunchy chopped nuts. The dough itself is rolled out and filled with a classic mixture of margarine, sugar, and cinnamon, creating a warm, spiced spiral in every bite. As the rolls rise and bake, the flavors meld together, resulting in a tender, fluffy interior and a golden, crisp exterior. Perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast, a holiday brunch centerpiece, or a sweet treat after dinner, these rolls require minimal effort but deliver maximum flavor. Serve them warm for the best experience, allowing the caramel to soften slightly for easy dipping.

Directions
-
Thaw the frozen bread dough according to package instructions until pliable.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and whipping cream until smooth.
-
Pour the brown sugar mixture evenly into the bottom of two 9-inch round baking pans.
-
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the chopped nuts over the brown sugar mixture in each pan.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll each loaf of dough into a 10x18 inch rectangle.
-
Spread the softened margarine evenly over the surface of each dough rectangle.
-
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle evenly over the margarine-coated dough.
-
Starting from the long end, tightly roll up each rectangle in a jelly roll fashion.
-
Cut each log into 1-inch slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
-
Place the slices cut-side down into the prepared pans, arranging them evenly.
-
Cover the pans loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
-
Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then invert onto serving plates to allow the caramel to drizzle over the rolls.

Note
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a microwave or toaster oven before serving.
You can substitute butter for the margarine for a richer flavor. Walnuts or pecans work best for the nuts, but you can omit them if preferred.
For easier slicing, use dental floss to cut the rolls without squishing them. Ensure the dough is fully thawed but not sticky before rolling.
