Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Let It Rise
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling
- Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to roughly an 18x12 inch rectangle.
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
Roll It Up
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
- Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
Assemble the Rolls
- In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, drizzle caramel sauce on the bottom.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the caramel.
- Arrange the cinnamon roll slices on top of the caramel and nuts.
Chill Overnight
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve
- Allow them to cool slightly before flipping the rolls onto a serving dish. Drizzle any remaining caramel on top.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed bag for up to a month.
