Caramel-Pecan Rolls (cont’d)Caramel-Pecan Rolls
Makes 12 rolls
INGREDIENTS
METHOD
1 In the mixer bowl of the stand mixer with the flat beater attached,
mix 2 cups of flour and the yeast on speed 1, until mixed.
2 In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat milk, butter, 1/3 cup
sugar and 1/3 cup butter to 115-120°, stirring constantly. (Use a candy
thermometer to check temperature.)
3 Pour milk mixture into flour mixture in mixer bowl. Add salt and
eggs. Scrape sides of bowl down. Beat mixture for 30 seconds on
speed 1, then 3 minutes on speed 3.
4 Remove the flat beater and replace with dough hook. With mixer on
speed 1, add remaining flour. When incorporated, turn to speed 3
and beat for 5 minutes.
5 Remove dough from bowl. Tuck the dough into a firm ball and place
into a well buttered bowl. Cover with a clean towel and place in a
draft-free area for at least 1 hour, until doubled in size.
6 When the dough ball has doubled in size, punch it down and let rest,
covered, for 10 minutes.
7 In a 12-inch chicken fryer over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter
with 3/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons corn syrup. Scrape the
inside of vanilla bean into the caramel mixture. Add the 2 cups of
pecans and mix well. Remove from burner and reserve.
8 Mix the remaining chopped pecans, melted butter, 1/3 cup sugar and
the cinnamon. Set aside.
9 Lightly flour a work space. Roll out dough ball to an approximately
9 X 18-inch rectangle.
4 cups bread flour, divided
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 cups pecans halves
1/2 pod vanilla bean, scraped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture over dough.
11 Roll the long side up jelly-roll style; this will make an 18-inch roll. Slice
the roll into 1-inch slices. Place slices in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet.
Cover and let rise again for another 30 minutes.
12 Preheat oven to 375°.
13 Uncover pan and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
14 After removing from oven, place a large plate over the top of the
pan and invert. Leave for several seconds so all caramel and pecans
release. Serve warm.
