Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1.5 cups Chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast. Stir to combine.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat until warmed (about 110°F). Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly. Slowly add the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, make the caramel sauce by combining the brown sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, honey, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth and creamy. Pour the caramel sauce into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and sprinkle half of the chopped pecans over the sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining brown sugar and cinnamon together for the filling.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread the dough with softened butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the long side. Pinch the ends to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Arrange the rolls cut-side down in the prepared baking dish over the caramel and pecans. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting the entire dish onto a serving platter. Be careful as the caramel will be hot!
Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, nutty goodness of your caramel pecan rolls.
