Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 cup Caramel sauce
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk until warm (but not hot), about 30 seconds. Stir in the melted butter and the egg.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
For the filling, mix together the brown sugar, softened butter, and ground cinnamon until it forms a uniform paste.
Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough into a 12x14-inch rectangle.
Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by coating the bottom with heavy cream and spreading caramel sauce evenly. Place the rolls cut-side down into the dish.
Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a towel and let them rise for 20 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the rolls sit for 5 minutes once removed from the oven, then invert the pan onto a serving platter to release the caramel topping.
Serve warm and enjoy the gooey caramel goodness!
