Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (warm)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup pecans (chopped)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C). Mix with yeast in a large bowl and let sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
  2. Add sugar, softened butter, eggs, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined into a soft dough.
  3. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth; let rise in a greased bowl for about 1 hour.
  4. Prepare filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon; set aside.
  5. Once risen, roll out dough into a rectangle, spread filling evenly, sprinkle pecans, then roll tightly and slice into pieces.
  6. For the caramel topping, combine brown sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling; pour into a baking dish and place rolls on top.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • For enhanced flavor, try adding chocolate chips or dried fruits to the filling.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal dough rising.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
