An easier version of this is to thaw out a loaf of frozen bread dough (for those that don't have bread machines!)
Another variation which is truly fabulous:
Just before the pans go in the oven pour whipping cream over the top. (1 8oz carton to 9 rolls). Be sure to shake the carton well to dissolve the butterfat. But not too much or you'll have whipped cream! 😉 Anyway, as the cream makes its way down to the bottom of the pan, it takes some of the brown sugar with it and makes a wonderful caramelly layer at the bottom of the pan.
