0.5 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding, box

1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Rolls:
  • Place ingredients in machine following the specifications of that particular machine. Set for dough cycle. If bread machine seems to be working too hard to mix dough, sometimes I add 1 - 2 Tbls vegetable oil to get it moving better.
  • After complete on dough cycle, remove from machine and roll out to about 17x10" rectangle. The larger you roll the rectangle, the more layers you have, which is really nice.
  • Caramel Pecan Topping:.
  • Mix butter, brown sugar and water together in a small saucepan, heat on low until butter is melted.
  • Increase heat to medium and boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
  • Pour into cake pan, then place pecan halves over the caramel.
  • Filling:
  • Mix together brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon.
  • Moisten the dough by brushing with milk.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar, pecan and cinnamon mixture over top.
  • Roll tightly from long end, pinching edges closed when completely rolled (sometimes putting a little milk on the edge helps seal it).
  • Slice rolled dough into 1/2" slices (or larger if a larger bun is preferred).
  • Place into pan on top of caramel.
  • Let rise until doubled (about an hour, or quicker if you put the pan on a heating pad).
  • Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, until golden. Do not overbake.
  • Invert onto a cookie sheet immediately, before caramel hardens.

CINNAMON ROLLS WITH CARAMEL AND WALNUTS TOPPING



Cinnamon Rolls With Caramel and Walnuts Topping image

Maybe it scares you the title but actually it's pretty easy to do and the resultÂ... it's very yummy!! To tell you the truth I started this recipe a night before. I prepared the dough and it stayed in the fridge the whole night! The next morning I just put in the cinnamon filling and let the rolls rest for another 30 minutes then it goes for baking into the oven.

Provided by nokocuisine

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 1 roll, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 tablespoon dried yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 milk
1/4 butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 cups cake flour
3/4 brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup walnuts
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup cream
1 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • We start with the dough. Dissolve 1 ts of sugar in a ½ cup of lukewarm water. Add 1 tbs of dried yeast, mix and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. After the 10 minutes it should rise and make bubbles.
  • While the mix of sugar, yeast and water is resting, pour into a pot ¼ cup sugar, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup butter. Put it on a low-medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the vanilla extract and let it cool down.
  • In a large bowl beat the 2 eggs with 1 ts of salt until they become foamy. Add the lukewarm mix of milk, sugar and butter. Continue mixing then add the yeast.
  • Add 2 cups of flour and continue mixing at low speed until the flour is incorporated.
  • Add the rest of the flour bit by bit, until the dough is not too sticky.
  • Sprinkle some flour on your table and knead for about 10 minutes. Keep sprinkling flour if the dough is still sticky.
  • Grease with butter a clean bowl, grease the dough with butter too and wrap in plastic film. Let it rest for at least one hour and a half in a warm place. If you prepare the dough a night before, put it in the fridge like I did.
  • Preheat the oven at 180°C Grease a tray pan with butter and lining it with parchment paper.
  • For the topping, caramelize the sugar in a pan. Careful not to burn it. When it takes a beautiful amber color add the boiling cream and stir well until all the caramelized sugar dissolves into the cream forming a nice caramel cream. Add the walnuts and spread the topping into the tray.
  • For the filling just mix together all the ingredients.
  • Using a rolling pin spread the dough into a 40 cm/30 cm sheet. Spread the filling over the dough equally and start rolling. Be sure to roll the dough pretty tight. With a sharp knife cut the rolls about 6 cm wide.
  • Place the rolls into the baking tray over the caramel topping and be sure to let enough space between because they will rise more.
  • Cover the tray with a damp cloth and let it rest for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
  • Bake the rolls for about 30-35 minutes (depending on your oven). Be sure to check after 25 minutes. When catch a nice golden-brown color it's time to get them out of the oven.
  • Let it rest for 2-3 minutes ( do not wait more because the caramel topping becomes hard and you won't be able to get your cinnamon rolls out). Place a large plate on top of the tray and flip it. The caramel topping it's on top now!
  • Enjoy!

ANNA'S CINNAMON CARAMEL ROLLS (BREAD MACHINE)



Anna's Cinnamon Caramel Rolls (Bread Machine) image

Everything Anna made was wonderful, and these cinnamon rolls are no exception. Although this is an old recipe, my Mom modified the directions to allow mixing and rising of the dough in a bread machine. The ingredients and quantities are exactly the same if you choose to hand mix and let the dough rise without the machine, but I haven't included the directions for that method. If you want to do it that way, then simply follow the basic mix and rise directions of any other roll recipe. I'll add those steps myself when I finally make them that way.

  • When the dough is ready, remove it from the machine and put it on a floured board. Using your hands, spread the dough evenly to approximately to a 15" x 8" rectangle.

CARAMEL CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Caramel Cinnamon Rolls Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-33953

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 loaves frozen bread dough
1 1/2 cups butter, softened, divided
4 tablespoons cinnamon
2 cups brown sugar, divided
1 to 1 1/2 cups ice cream
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Thaw bread dough according to package directions. With a rolling pin, roll each loaf of thawed dough out about 1/4 inch thick in an oval shape on a floured surface. Spread 1/2 cup softened butter on the 2 loaves (1/4 cup on each). Sprinkle cinnamon over the top of the butter. Lightly sprinkle 1 cup sugar over the cinnamon. Roll dough into a long tube. Cut into 3/4 inch thick slices, about 12 per loaf. Transfer rolls to 2 greased 9 by 13 inch pans. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a saucepan, melt remaining butter and ice cream. Add remaining brown sugar and white sugar. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Pour mixture evenly over the 2 pans of cinnamon rolls. Allow the rolls to rise at room temperature until they are almost double in size. I set mine on top of my stove while my oven preheats which helps them rise. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. When finished baking, allow rolls to cool a few minutes then flip them out on a cookie sheet and allow to cool completely (or until they won't burn your mouth). ENJOY!!! If you want to prepare these the evening before you can, but don't let them rise at room temperature. Instead, cover them with plastic food wrap sprayed with cooking spray and place in the refrigerator overnight. They will slowly rise overnight and will be ready to pop in the oven in the morning.

Categories     Bread     Breakfast

Yield 12 Rolls

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 C. brown sugar
1 stick butter (1/2 c.)
1 (3/4 pkg.) Butterscotch pudding (not instant)
2 t. cinnamon
1/2 C. chopped pecans
1 pkg. (12) dinner rolls frozen dough or cinnamon rolls (I use frozen cinnamon rolls)

Steps:

  • Spray a 9"x13" pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread pecans over the bottom of the pan. Melt butter in microwave. Add brown sugar, pudding and cinnamon. Pour over pecans in pan. Place rolls in pan on top of mixture. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and then lay a kitchen towel over it. Let sit overnight on counter to rise. I usually put it on something that elevates it off the counter so the air circulates underneath. In the morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 25 min. Flip pan over onto a cookie sheet/jelly roll pan whlie still hot so topping is now on top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will ensure that your cinnamon rolls have the best flavor and texture.
  • Proof the yeast. This is an important step that will help the cinnamon rolls rise properly.
  • Be patient. The dough needs time to rise, so don't rush the process.
  • Roll the dough out thinly. This will help the cinnamon rolls cook evenly.
  • Don't overfill the cinnamon rolls. This will make them difficult to roll up and they may burst open while baking.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Caramel cinnamon rolls are a delicious and indulgent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a little patience, you can easily make these rolls at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your cinnamon rolls turn out perfectly.
