holiday breakfast recipes
Hey ladies! What do you make for breakfast or brunch on holidays? I'm looking for something that I can prepare the night before and pop in the morning of. I'm presently computer and internet-less so I can't search at home.

So I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten free Pizza mix.
Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls
Dough:
1/4 cup Butter
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
Yeast Packet (from package)
1 cup Warm Water
1 – 16 pkg Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix
Rice Flour for dusting
Filling:
1/4 cup Butter, melted
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 tsp Cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Add 1 Tb of the sugar to the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast packet on top of water and let sit 5 minutes. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, making sure to blend in completely.
Add the yeast mixture to the butter/egg mixture and blend. Add in the pizza crust mix; blend two minutes. Heavily dust a foot long sheet of wax paper with rice flour. Spread batter over the length of the wax paper, about 19 inches. Using warm water, wet your hands and press the batter outward to fill the sheet. Keep your hands wet. Once the batter evenly covers the wax paper, brush melted butter over the batter from edge to edge.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar and then sprinkle mixture over the batter from edge to edge. Pick up the short end of the wax paper and begin carefully rolling the batter over itself like you would a jelly roll. Cut the roll into 1 ½ inch pieces and gently place the disks into the 8 x 8 inch greased pan. It is okay to crowd them.
Let the rolls rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Remove from oven, cool until the butter stops bubbling then flip out onto a plate. Makes 8 cinnamon rolls.
I always roll them up and put in the pan, cover with a towel and keep in the fridge overnight, then I take them out to rise for 30 minutes in the morning.

If you want something sweeter, I have made this Paula Deen French Toast Casserole. One of the comments suggest using two pans, so you can lay the toast flat. I would highly recommend that. It tasted great but my bread got soggy where it overlapped.
I usually do an egg casserole, but this year I'm going to try baked french toast, this recipe, actually:

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
