Time 2h25m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

Dinner Rolls, prepared through step 2
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2/3 cup walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt
All-purpose flour, for work surface
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Butter two 13-by-9-inch baking pans. In a food processor, combine brown sugar, nuts, chocolate, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until coarsely ground; set nut mixture aside.
  • Divide dough in half. Working with one half at a time (keep the other half covered with plastic wrap), roll dough out to a 16-by-10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Spread 4 tablespoons butter over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle half the nut mixture over butter. Leave a border around the filling so it doesn't seep out. Starting at a long end, roll up dough like a jellyroll; with a sharp knife, cut crosswise into 12 equal pieces.
  • Place buns, cut side down, in prepared pans. Cover pans loosely with plastic; let stand in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Bake buns until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through. Let cool 15 minutes.
  • Prepare glaze: In a small saucepan, heat brown sugar, butter, and water over medium, stirring, until simmering; cook 1 minute. Drizzle glaze over buns; let stand 10 minutes before serving.

The buns were a bit dry. I would recommend adding a little more butter or milk to the dough.

These buns were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, so I reduced the amount in the filling. The buns were still very tasty and my family enjoyed them.

I substituted walnuts for the pecans in the filling and they turned out great. The buns were still very flavorful and delicious.
