Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 1 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 3/4 cups of the flour (reserve 1/4 cup), yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 3 tablespoons of butter until warm (not hot) and the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until it begins to come together.

Step 4

Add the egg and continue mixing to form a soft dough. If it's sticky, incorporate the reserved 1/4 cup flour gradually.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the brown sugar, heavy cream, and half the pecans. Cook until the sugar dissolves, then pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Set it aside.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 12x18 inches.

Step 9

Brush the rolled-out dough with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and the rest of the chopped pecans.

Step 10

Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log and cut it into 12 equal slices.

Step 11

Place the rolls cut-side-up into the prepared baking dish on top of the pecan caramel layer.

Step 12

Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 13

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 14

Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 15

Remove the pan from the oven and let the rolls cool for 5 minutes. Then, carefully invert the pan onto a serving tray so the caramel and pecans are on top.

Step 16

Serve warm and enjoy!
