Tried this recipe for the first time this morning and my family loved it, I make a pull apart bread for the holidays using the frozen rolls and I always have left over rolls that I don't know what to do with, and I always end up throwing them away, this recipe is a good way to use up the left over rolls. It took longer for it to rise the the recipe stated but I solved that problem by following the quick rise instructions on the package, the next time I make it though I think I will make it up before I go to bed and leave it in the oven to rise and bake it when I get up like I do when I make my other pull apart bread recipe.

I forgot to say that I am always running behind, so I was looking for shortcuts one holiday. I decided to try the pre-cooked bacon bits you can buy now...and they work great! :)

I have made this recipe for years. I found it in one of your magazines and fixed it for a family event. Everyone loves it and they request it every holiday!

Everyone who had some of this raved! Even the guys at my husband's work who got a nibble from the left overs.

This is DELECTABLE! I used one pound of frozen bread rolls (12) cut in half and butter rather than the oil, and swiss cheese. It was fabulous and my husband and I ate the whole thing!

This has been a family treat for years, and has become a favorite treat when we get together at our cabin. To streamline cooking (and clean-up)I cook an extra package of bacon with breakfast and save the crumbles for later that evening. I also replace the frozen bread dough with frozen rolls... they thaw faster and I just snip them in half with kitchen scissors instead of having to drag out a rolling pin. No stick foil makes for easy clean-up but we never seem to have any left overs!

This one is sooo good! Just be prepared to give out the recipe to all who try. Everyone loves this from my 7 year old son to my parents. The only thing I change is the time it takes to rise. I allow at least 1 hour. Thanks!
