Description

Soft and warm sweet rolls bursting with rich flavors of maple, cinnamon, and pecans, perfect for your holiday brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups warm milk
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix melted butter, egg, and the yeast mixture until well combined.
  3. Gradually add in flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place.

  6. Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans evenly over the buttered dough.
  7. Roll the dough tightly and slice into rolls, about 1-inch thick.
  8. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
