Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cinnamon
- 0.75 cups Chopped pecans
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter together until the butter is just melted. Let the mixture cool until it is warm but not hot, about 110°F.
Gradually add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough forms, then knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans for the filling. Set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.
Spread the cinnamon pecan mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on one edge to seal the roll.
Starting from the longer edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
On a lightly floured surface, flatten each roll gently into a rectangle to resemble a burrito shape. Fold the sides inward and roll to seal the edges, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed.
Place the burrito-style rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth to make the glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
