Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients:
- 4 cups (480 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk (warm)
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large eggs
Filling and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup (100 grams) pecans (chopped)
- 1 cup (220 grams) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) corn syrup
Instructions
- Activate yeast by dissolving in warm milk at 110F (43C), allowing it to bloom and become frothy for 5-10 minutes.
- Create soft dough by incorporating sugar, butter, eggs, and flour into the yeast mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Develop dough texture by kneading on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Allow dough to rise in a greased bowl for approximately 1 hour, creating a puffy and doubled volume.
- Prepare filling by blending softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a uniform spread.
- Roll out risen dough into a rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness.
- Spread filling across dough surface, then generously scatter pecans over the layer.
- Roll dough tightly into a compact log, creating spiraled layers of filling and nuts.
- Slice the log into individual rolls with precision.
- Craft caramel topping by simmering brown sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan until it reaches a bubbling consistency.
- Pour caramel mixture into a baking dish, creating a rich, sticky base.
- Arrange rolled buns atop the caramel layer, ensuring even spacing.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350F (175C) for 25-30 minutes until achieving a golden-brown exterior.
Notes
- Ensure milk temperature is precise at 110F to activate yeast perfectly without killing it.
- Use room temperature ingredients like butter and eggs for smoother, more consistent dough texture.
- Adjust rising time based on kitchen warmth; dough should double in size for optimal softness.
- Customize by substituting pecans with walnuts or skipping nuts for nut-free version.
