Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- ½ cup brown sugar (light)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix warm milk and yeast; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Add melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead: On a floured surface, knead dough for 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled.
- Make Filling: In another bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon; set aside.
- Shape Rolls: Roll out risen dough into a rectangle (½ inch thick). Cut into triangles; place 1 tablespoon of filling at the wide end and roll tightly.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange rolls on parchment-lined baking sheet; let rise for another 20 minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
