Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg (room temperature)
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
- 0.5 cups Pecans (optional, chopped)
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted, for glaze)
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (for glaze)
- 3 tablespoons Corn syrup (light)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to combine.
Heat the milk until warm (around 110°F). Add the melted butter and egg to the warm milk, then pour the mixture into the dry ingredients.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until soft and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches on a floured surface.
Spread the softened butter for the filling evenly over the surface of the dough.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Optionally, sprinkle chopped pecans over the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Starting from the longer side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
In a small saucepan, prepare the glaze by combining melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and heavy cream. Stir over medium heat until smooth. Pour the glaze into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, and sprinkle with more pecans if desired.
Arrange the cinnamon roll slices over the prepared glaze in the dish, leaving a little space between each roll to allow for rising.
Cover the dish and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Allow the rolls to cool for 5 minutes after baking, then invert the dish onto a serving platter to let the sticky glaze coat the rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy!
