Time 3h30m

Yield 24 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs
7 cups all-purpose flour,
plus more for dusting
Vegetable oil, for brushing
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Warm the milk in a small saucepan until steaming. Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Combine the milk, shortening, granulated sugar, salt and eggs in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. Add the yeast mixture and mix until combined. Stir in the flour to form a soft dough. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the caramel: Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil; cook until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the heavy cream; whisk until combined and slightly cooled. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet; spread the caramel on the baking sheet and let cool completely.
  • Make the filling: Mix the brown sugar, melted butter and cinnamon in a bowl. Punch down the dough and roll out into a 12-by-24-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the filling on the dough and roll up, starting at a long side. Cut into 1-inch pieces and arrange cut-side up on the caramel. Cover loosely and let sit at room temperature until puffed, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Uncover the rolls and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. (Put a baking sheet on the lower oven rack to catch any drips.) Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then invert onto a large cutting board or platter.

Tips:

  • To ensure your cinnamon caramel nut rolls turn out perfectly, use a kitchen scale to accurately measure your ingredients.
  • Activate the yeast properly by using warm water (105-115°F) and allowing it to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  • Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. A well-kneaded dough will result in soft and fluffy cinnamon caramel nut rolls.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This will take about 1-2 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen.

  • For a gooey caramel filling, use a combination of brown sugar and butter.
