These homemade caramel rolls have the old-fashioned goodness my family craves. Tender and nutty, the buns disappear fast on Christmas. Ingredients:
4 to 4-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup 2% milk |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
2 eggs |
topping: |
1/3 cup butter, cubed |
2/3 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
1 cup chopped pecans |
filling: |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup until combined. Pour into a well-greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with pecans.
4. Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface. Roll into a 12x8-in. rectangle; brush with melted butter. Combine sugars and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges and press into dough. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal.
5. Cut into 12 slices. Place cut side down in prepared pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°.
6. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
