Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.33 cup Warm water
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar. Let cool until lukewarm (about 110°F).

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm milk mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, 4 cups of flour, and salt. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, adding the remaining 1/2 cup of flour if needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, make the caramel glaze by combining 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the caramel into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Add pecans if desired.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 16x12-inch rectangle.

Step 8

Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter over the dough. Sprinkle the dough evenly with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and the ground cinnamon.

Step 9

Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.

Step 10

Place the rolls cut side down into the prepared baking dish on top of the caramel glaze. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the rolls cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the rolls onto a serving platter so that the caramel glaze is on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
