Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Melted unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 cup Pecans
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Sugar-free caramel syrup
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit until it becomes foamy, about 5 minutes.
Add the milk, melted butter, egg, 0.5 cup of sugar substitute, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a 16x12-inch rectangle.
Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the rolled dough.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 0.75 cup of sugar substitute and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
Roll the dough tightly from the long end to form a log, then cut it into 12 equal pieces.
Pour the sugar-free caramel syrup evenly into the prepared pan, then sprinkle pecans over the syrup.
Place the rolls in the pan on top of the syrup and pecans. Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the rolls for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes.
Carefully invert the rolls onto a serving platter so the pecans and caramel are on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
