Time 3h

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
½ cup milk
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
4 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans, divided
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup melted butter

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and salt; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
  • In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, eggs and 1 1/2 cup flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • While dough is rising, melt 3/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 3/4 cup brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Pour into greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle bottom of pan with 1/2 cup pecans; set aside. Melt remaining butter; set aside. Combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pecans, and cinnamon; set aside.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, roll into an 18x14 inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter, leaving 1/2 inch border uncovered; sprinkle with brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Starting at long side, tightly roll up, pinching seam to seal. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. With serrated knife, cut into 15 pieces; place cut side down, in prepared pan. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes, then invert onto serving platter. Scrape remaining filling from the pan onto the rolls.

Tips:

  • Proper Measuring: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially for baking. Baking is a science, and precise measurements are crucial for success.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. Fresh eggs, butter, and spices will contribute to a more flavorful and delicious end result.
  • Proper Dough Consistency: The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, but not too wet or dry. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour; if it's too dry, add a splash of milk.
  • Warm Proofing Environment: Choose a warm, draft-free location for proofing the dough. This will help it rise properly and achieve the desired texture.
  • Don't Over-Proof the Dough: Keep an eye on the dough as it rises. Over-proofing can result in a dense, gummy texture.
  • Generous Cinnamon Filling: Be generous with the cinnamon sugar mixture when filling the rolls. This will ensure a gooey, flavorful center.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the rolls until they are golden brown on top. This indicates that they are cooked through and have achieved the perfect texture.
  • Glaze for Extra Indulgence: For an extra touch of sweetness and richness, drizzle a glaze made with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract over the warm rolls.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and a sprinkle of love, these gooey cinnamon rolls will be a hit at your next breakfast or brunch gathering. From the soft, fluffy dough to the gooey cinnamon filling, every bite is a delightful symphony of flavors and textures.
