I don't actually use a recipe to make these so if you're gonna try please call me so I can walk you thru it.
This bread recipe is the best memory I have of growing up, hands down. I can see Mom mixing it up on the Saturday before every major holiday and I continue to do so myself. I love the idea that my kids and grandkids will think of the exact same carmel rolls when they think of holidays at my house as they grow up.
I grew up thinking that this was an old family recipe from my Moms side of the family only to learn that she got it from a woman in her "church circle". They would make them as a group to serve after Mass at St. Peter and Pauls. So even though the recipe has only been in the family since about 1965 it is still my choice for good family memories.
