Equipment
- 12-inch camp oven OR 6 quart Dutch Oven
- 12-inch cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter softened
- 24 frozen, unbaked rolls We used Rhodes
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- ½ cup butter melted or see notes.
- 2 tbsp heavy cream half and half or milk will work too.
- 8 oz cream cheese frosting
- 1 tsp Cinnamon-sugar blend (optional)
Instructions
Assembly
- Arrange frozen dinner rolls in the pot/pan
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of each dough ball; repeating with the cinnamon and the pecans.
- Pour the melted butter over the top.
- Let stand for at least 2 hours allowing the rolls to double in size.
Oven baked
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F
- Assemble the rolls. (see above)
- Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
Outdoor camp oven
- Heat coals in a charcoal chimney.
- Once hot, place 12 coals on bottom (camp table, fire pit, etc).
- Nestle camp oven on top of the coals.
- Assemble the rolls. (see above)
- Cover with the camp oven lid.
- Place heated coals over the entire lid.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
- When done, using a lid lifter, remove from coals.
Glazing the rolls
- Add the premade frosting to a heat-safe bowl, and warm slightly.
- Stir in the cream to thin the icing.
- Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- If using, sprinkle with the optional cinnamon-sugar blend.
- Serve warm; drizzled the buttery-cinnamon sauce from the pan over the rolls.
Notes
Cooler temperatures, either indoors or outside for camp cooking, will cause the rolls longer to rise, about 3 hours.
Over-crowding the pan will yield smaller cooked rolls, the more room they have to expand, the fluffier they will get.
Cube butter into small squares and place over the top of the rolls to melt while cooking over coals.
