Thanks for sharing must try them in the week,

[Also -- I live at 4300 foot elevation -- I use only 2 tsp of the yeast. It works a LOT better.[/quote]

How does the elevation affect the amount of yeast used? Sachets of yeast over here contain 7 gm.

For example, making candies that require the thermometer (hard boil stage), has to cook to 5 degrees lower than in lower elevations. My first year here, I burned 3 pans of candy!!!! Our water boils faster, but our noodles/potatoes take longer to cook. The yeast seems to rise HIGHER --- First sweet rolls I made, they rose right up and out of the pan. Finally found a website that said to use less yeast. That's made mine turn out perfect! DH thinks it's because there's less air pressure --- gravity isn't pushing the dough down as much as at sea level. ???? sounds good to me!

DH is right about the air pressure being less in higher elevetions (I'm hte science geek that loves to sew). My DH thinks it's funny...let him laugh..until he need me to match his suits,ties and shirts (he's color blind).

Here is the reciepe for the carmal topping. It is how it was given to me. I do not use frozen bread dough. It is really hard to pour all that liquid over them before you put in the oven but it does work!!

Carmel topping from Deb Solem
Thaw frozen bread dough roll out and sprinkle with Brown sugar, and drizzle with melted butter Optional) add nuts, raisins and cinnamon if you like. Roll jelly roll fashion and cut into 1-11/2 inch pieces. Place in lightly greased pan. (Leave room between for them to rise)
While they are rising prepare caramel toping
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup margarine
10-15 large marshmallows
1 cup brown sugar
cook till marshmallows are melted, Allow to cool some.
When rolls have risen up pour over them and bake.

Store left over topping in fridge. Good on ice cream!!

You can thaw frozen bread dough and make into rolls the night before. Put in refrigerator (covered but don’t let plastic wrap touch them or they might fall when you take it off)
In the AM take them out and let them rise then just before baking put the topping on
