Ingredients

• Dough:
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
• Filling:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
• Caramel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and melted butter until warm (not hot). Add to the flour mixture.
3. Add the egg and beat the mixture until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Caramel Topping

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup until well combined and smooth.
2. Pour the caramel mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top.

3. Assemble the Rolls

1. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 15×9 inches).
2. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle over the butter. Top with chopped pecans.
3. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut into 12 even slices and place them cut side down into the prepared baking pan.

4. Bake

1. Cover the rolls and let them rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these Caramel Pecan Rolls warm for the best flavor. They pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea. You can also add a drizzle of vanilla glaze or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness.

Tips and Variations

• For an extra rich flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the caramel topping.
• You can make the dough the night before and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight for a quick bake in the morning.
