Ingredients

  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons Yeast
  • 1/2 cups White Sugar, Divided
  • 1 cup Milk, Heated To 110 Degrees F
  • 2 Eggs, Slightly Beaten
  • 1/3 cups Butter, Melted
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 4-1/2 cups Bread Flour
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cups Butter, Softened
  • 1-1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons Corn Syrup
  • 1 bag (6 Oz. Size) Pecan Pieces
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 3/4 cups White Sugar
  • 4 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, Softened

Method

  • For the dough, in a small bowl, combine yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, and warm milk. Stir until yeast and sugar are dissolved. Set aside to rest and start to foam.
  • In a large bowl, stir remaining sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Add yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Add bread flour, 1 cup at a time. Mix and knead until dough is no longer sticky. Put dough into greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes.
  • While the dough rises, prepare the topping. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and pecan pieces. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Pour topping into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
  • For the filling, in a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
  • Once dough has risen, turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Roll dough up, tightly sealing the seam. Cut into 12 equal rolls and place in baking dish above topping. Cover pan and let rise for 40-60 minutes. Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes until rolls are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and immediately invert onto a heatproof plate or baking sheet. Let rolls stand for 2-3 minutes before removing the baking dish. Serve warm.
