Ingredients

  • 2 (1-pound) loaves frozen white bread dough
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar divided
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-calorie stick margarine
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Step 1

Thaw bread dough in refrigerator for 12 hours.

Combine 1 cup sugar, brown sugar, milk, margarine, and 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Remove sugar syrup from heat; let cool 10 minutes.

Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow dish; stir well. Cut each loaf of dough into 24 equal portions. Roll each portion in sugar mixture; layer balls of dough in a 12-cup Bundt pan coated with cooking spray. Pour sugar syrup over dough; cover and let rise in a warm place (85º), free from drafts, 35 minutes or until doubled in bulk.

Preheat oven to 350º.

Uncover, and bake at 350º for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately loosen edges of bread with a knife. Place a plate upside down on top of pan; invert onto plate. Remove pan; drizzle any remaining syrup over bread.
