Time 35m

Yield 16 rolls, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup water
0.5 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding, box
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups bread flour
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup pecan halves
1 tablespoon milk, just enough to brush over the dough
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.

Tips:

To make the perfect caramel, use equal parts sugar and water. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a deep amber color.
For the best results, use fresh, soft pecans. If you don't have any on hand, you can toast them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
Be sure to grease your baking pan before adding the cinnamon rolls. This will help prevent them from sticking.
Bake the cinnamon rolls at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

These caramel pecan cinnamon rolls are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying dessert, give these cinnamon rolls a try. You won't be disappointed!
