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!
