Description
Decadent pecan pie cinnamon rolls that combine the warmth of cinnamon rolls with the sweetness of pecan pie, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup pecan pie filling
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover with a dish towel, and let rise in a warm environment until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Spread the pecan pie filling over the dough, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Create a log by rolling the dough tightly from one long edge. Slice into 1-2 inch thick pieces and place in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
Notes
Use room-temperature ingredients for better dough rise. Consider making the rolls up to the second rise and refrigerating overnight for convenience.
