Ingredients:

• Dough:
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
• Filling:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• Caramel Pecan Topping:
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Caramel Pecan Topping:
   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
   • Pour the caramel sauce into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the caramel sauce.
3. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
   • Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 16×12 inches. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
4. Assemble the Rolls:
   • Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
   • Place the slices cut-side down in the prepared baking dish on top of the caramel pecan topping.
5. Bake:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the baking dish with a clean towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
   • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve:
   • Let the rolls cool in the baking dish for about 5 minutes, then invert them onto a serving platter to reveal the gooey caramel pecan topping.
   • Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, sticky goodness.

Tips:

• Overnight Prep: You can prepare the rolls the night before, cover them tightly, and refrigerate. In the morning, let them come to room temperature before baking.
• Variations: Add raisins or chopped nuts to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
