Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
• 1 cup Caramel sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk until warm (but not hot), about 30 seconds. Stir in the melted butter and the egg.

Step 3

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes while preparing the filling.

Step 4

For the filling, mix together the brown sugar, softened butter, and ground cinnamon until it forms a uniform paste.

Step 5

Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough into a 12x14-inch rectangle.

Step 6

Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top.

Step 7

Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.

Step 8

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by coating the bottom with heavy cream and spreading caramel sauce evenly. Place the rolls cut-side down into the dish.

Step 9

Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a towel and let them rise for 20 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Let the rolls sit for 5 minutes once removed from the oven, then invert the pan onto a serving platter to release the caramel topping.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy the gooey caramel goodness!
