GRANDMOTHER STOUGAARD'S CARAMEL PECAN SWEET ROLLS



Grandmother Stougaard's Caramel Pecan Sweet Rolls image

This is an Stougaard old family favorite. Not the easiest to make, but well worth the trouble. Gooey and sweet. Best eaten fresh from the oven. I usually double the recipe, because if you go to the trouble to make yeast rolls--make lots. Milk can also be warmed in the microwave.

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!

Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook to make the dough. This will save you time and effort.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to roll it out to a 12x18 inch rectangle. This will ensure that the cinnamon rolls are the perfect size.
  • Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Be sure to get all the way to the edges.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seam to seal it.
  • Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Let the cinnamon rolls rise for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the caramel sauce. To do this, simply combine the sugar, butter, and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Once the cinnamon rolls are done baking, pour the caramel sauce over them. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, if desired.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon rolls with caramel and walnuts topping are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
