Baking Tips

Using warm milk activates the yeast properly for a fluffy dough.

Adding honey to the caramel enhances the depth of flavor.

Rolling the dough tightly ensures even layers in every bite.

Letting the rolls rise twice gives them the perfect soft texture.

To prevent overbaking, check the rolls at 25 minutes; they should be golden on top but still soft inside.

Using toasted pecans intensifies the nutty flavor and crunch.

For a boozy kick, add bourbon to the caramel sauce.

A sprinkle of sea salt on top balances the sweetness.

Instructions

In a bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Add eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

For the filling, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and allspice in a bowl.

Roll out the dough into a 16x12 inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over it and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly.

Tightly roll the dough into a log and slice it into 12 rolls.

For the caramel pecan glaze, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, honey, heavy cream, and salt, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla and bourbon.

Pour half of the caramel glaze into a greased baking dish and sprinkle with toasted pecans.

Arrange the cinnamon rolls over the caramel pecan layer, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then invert the pan onto a serving tray to release the caramel pecan topping.

Drizzle the remaining caramel glaze over the rolls, top with extra toasted pecans, and dust with powdered sugar.
