Well my friends, I’m back! It’s been a while! I got emails from folks asking me what they had been doing wrong. Were they accessing the weblog incorrectly? Why are there no new posts? (That one made me laugh.)

There simply haven’t been any new posts for a whereas simply due to the fact I essentially took an early maternity leave. Yes, we’re having one other baby! Hooray!



And no, my maternity depart was now not for an toddler that's already here, it was for my first trimester. I was the child who wanted taking care of, and Netflix and Anne of Green Gables novels took care of it effectively enough. Oh, and Eric. He’s a saint. He was the dad AND the mother for a whereas there.

I get lovely sick for about 3 months with every one pregnancy, and I simply cease being a guilty human. Just ask my children, who've essentially been Lord of the Flies-ing it over here.

But I’m feeling a lot better, thank goodness! I’m almost 20 weeks pregnant now, due in December. I cannot only devour meals these days, I can assume about it and speak about it too, which is development indeed.


We’re having a BOY! We’re tremendous excited. It’s variety of humorous having a 4th child simply due to the fact folks automatically ask if we’re going to move for a 5th. Hold your horses! Let’s take this one kid at a time!!

Although if you’re my thirteen 12 months antique neighbor PJ, you could now not be asking about a 5th. He got here over a pair weeks ago and I informed him that I was pregnant. His eyes got truly extensive and he said, “Oh NO. Again??” I laughed so hard. Yes PJ, a few folks like having kids (gasp!) and do it ON PURPOSE!

How to Make Caramel Pecan Rolls
I had this vast thought to make Pecan Sticky Buns and inform you that I had a bun within the oven, like I did after I announced my final pregnancy with Aunt Shirley’s Famous Dinner Rolls. Because bloggers are meant to do lovely stuff like that, right? Or something? But it seems folks seek for Caramel Pecan Rolls method extra typically than Pecan Sticky Buns, and since Google guidelines my life (or at the very least guidelines the titles I provide my weblog posts) I caved.

pecan roll recipe

Call them pecan sticky buns, name them caramel pecan rolls, name them no matter you want, here's considered one of the finest breakfast presents you may ever positioned in your mouth. Have you ever tried one? It’s simply a cinnamon roll, minus the cinnamon, plus gooey caramel sauce and plenty of toasted pecans. HEAVEN.

But don’t assume of those the method you assume of your typical pecan cinnamon rolls. Because we're making this pecan roll recipe with brioche dough. It makes them NEXT LEVEL you guys.

How to Make Brioche Dough

Brioche dough is unique from normal bread dough now not just within the ingredients, but in addition in how the dough is combined together. It has a extra butter and eggs than your typical bread dough, ensuing in a in fact modern and tender crumb as quickly as it's baked. It also doesn’t have almost as a lot flour as normal bread dough.

Using brioche dough rather of bread dough makes for a SUPER modern caramel roll as quickly as it's baked up. I use this identical dough for The Fluffiest Homemade Cinnamon Rolls of Your Life and I’m by no potential going again to normal dough for any style of candy roll that I make.


After blending within the minimum quantity of flour, THEN you upload the butter (usually flour is the final ingredient). Very modern butter, further 1 tablespoon at a time, till the dough is sticky, stretchy, and really soft. It slightly comes collectively and could be impossible to roll out, which is the place the coolness step comes in.


Pre-chill. Post chill. It will rise a few but now not double.

Chilling the dough is what makes it workable. Many brioche recipes name for an overnight chilling, and whereas you possibly can do this in case you're making these forward of time, 2 hours will do simply superb in case you desire to make these all in a single day.

Here’s the dough after it has chilled, willing to roll out. It is nonetheless soft, but it’s simple sufficient to roll it out so as to form your lovely Caramel Pecan Rolls. Just don’t take perpetually with the rolling process; if it turns into too warm it's going to be too modern and sticky to slice the rolls.


Yes, use ALL the caramel sauce, no it’s to now not much, and yes, your rolls may be genuinely swimming in it earlier than they rise. Embrace it!


Do you spot how puffy they get!? So satisfying. The excessive stage of eggs and butter within the dough potential the bread turns a in fact darkish golden colour when baked. Still, you must disguise your rolls with foil for the final 15-20 minutes of baking so that they don’t get too dark.


Flip that pan over and also you get this beautiful mess.


I can’t commence to inform you how in love with these Caramel Pecan Rolls I am. I made them on a random Tuesday to celebrate being again within the kitchen after a 3 month ban, but these could be vast to make over the weekend. Test it out quickly so you possibly can galvanize your household on Christmas morning with this present stopper brunch!


Ingredients
For the candy dough
 1 cup total milk, warm
 1 tablespoon lively dry yeast
 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
 2 large eggs
 3 and 1/4 cups all aim flour, spooned and leveled
 1 teaspoon kosher salt
 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, very modern (divided)
For the caramel sauce
 3/4 cup (1 and 1/2 sticks) salted butter
 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
 1/3 cup honey
 1/3 cup heavy cream
 1/3 cup water
 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
For the roll filling
 1 and 3/4 cup pecans, toasted (about 8 ounces)*
 1/3 cup granulated sugar
 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
 sprint nutmeg, optional

Instructions:
Make the candy dough: In a pitcher measuring cup, upload 1 cup milk. Use total milk in case you've it. Warm the milk within the microwave in 20 moment increments till it's good and warm. Stir it with a small spoon and truly experience it together with your finger. It must be about 105-110 stages F, or concerning the temperature of good bath water. If it feels in any respect HOT, stick it within the fridge till it cools down.
Add 1 tablespoon of yeast and 5 tablespoons granulated sugar and stir. Wait 5 minutes and examine to make particular your yeast is getting bubbly. If not, you've killed your yeast; sell off it and bounce over. Better to bounce over now than after hours of growing with out results!
Once you're particular that your yeast is alive and well, upload NULL eggs to the measuring cup and whisk all of it collectively till smooth.
Meanwhile, upload 3 and 1/4 cups flour to a big bowl or stand mixer. Make particular you spoon and stage your flour. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
Add the rainy meals to the flour within the bowl. Use the paddle attachment in your mixer (or normal beaters if you're utilizing a hand mixer) and beat till combined, about 1 minute. Make particular to cease and scrape the facets and backside of the bowl.
With the mixer working on low or medium low, upload 1 tablespoon of very modern butter at a time, till the total 1/2 cup has been further in. Make particular every one tablespoon of butter is solely incorporated earlier than including extra butter. The job of including within the butter must take a pair minutes at least.
Once all of the butter is incorporated, beat on medium low velocity for 5 minutes. The dough must be silky, smooth, and shiny. After 5 minutes, it's going to now not have cleaned the facets of the bowl, however it must be shaped collectively in a unfastened ball. It is VERY rainy and never doable at all.
Grease a big bowl with butter or oil. Don't be stingy now.
Use a spatula to scrape the candy dough into the greased bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or as plenty as 2 days. (Chilling isn't optional. You may not be capable to work with this dough till it's solely chilled!)
Make the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 3/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add 1 and 1/2 cup brown sugar and stir till incorporated.
Turn off the heat. Add in 1/3 cup honey, 1/3 cup heavy cream, and 1/3 cup water. Add 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Whisk all of it collectively till smooth. Try to chop up any chunks of brown sugar. Set apart to cool to room temperature. You can positioned it within the fridge to velocity this up. (You could make the caramel sauce as plenty as 2 days ahead. Store included within the fridge.)
Make the roll filling: Start by toasting the pecans so that they have time to cool earlier than you sprinkle them at the rolls. Preheat your oven to 350 stages F. Chop your pecans into small or medium products (I in fact simply sold pre-chopped pecans from the store.) Spread frivolously over a dry rimmed baking pan.
Bake at 350 for about 5-7 minutes, opening the oven at the very least as quickly as to toss them round with a spatula. You will realize they're toasted after they grow to be very fragrant. Keep a near eye on them, they move from toasted to burned quickly. Set apart to cool. (You are going so as to feature HALF the pecans to the roll filling, and the unique half to the caramel sauce; learn on.)
In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Add in a sprint of nutmeg in case you like. Once the pecans have cooled, toss about HALF of them into the mixture. Reserve the unique half of the pecans for later.
Prepare for rising: Bring a pot of water to a boil at the stove. Place an empty 9x13 inch pan on a backside rack in your oven. Place one other rack above it. Turn your oven on to 350 for about 3 minutes, then turn it off. Your rolls are going to rise within the oven with a water bath. (This method they rise in 45 minutes rather of 2 hours)
Add the caramel sauce that has cooled to a unique 9x13 inch baking pan. Scrape it ALL in. I realize it seems like a ton. It is. That's why these rolls are so good. Tilt the pan so that the sauce coats the facets of the pan, or use a spoon or brush. (The sauce is greasing the pan, so make particular you coat it well.) Sprinkle with all of the remainder pecans. Don't mix. (see photo) Set aside.
Roll out the dough: Prepare a piece floor with a beneficiant dusting of flour. I love to roll out dough on my pastry cloth, it makes it so easy.
Scrape the chilled dough onto the flour and knead it collectively a pair occasions together with your hands. Press it out right into a rectangle together with your hands, then use a rolling pin to roll the dough right into a big rectangle. It must be about 1/4 inch thick if now not just a bit thicker. It must degree about 12 inches by 16-18 inches. It wouldn't need to be exact.
Sprinkle the sugar and pecan combination frivolously over the dough.
Roll up the dough, beginning from the lengthy edge. As you roll, use your fingers to modern out the dough from the core to make the roll even (so that the core of your roll isn't method thicker than the area of your roll.)
Use your fingers to seal the roll.
Use a in fact lengthy and sharp serrated knife to chop the dough into 12 slices, about 1 and 1/2 inches each. Use a sawing motion. Dip your knife in flour in among cuts. The dough is lovely sticky at the inside. If you waited too lengthy and your rolled up dough is simply too modern to cut, move closely to the freezer for 20 minutes and strive again.
Place every one roll within the willing pan. Yep, immediately into the deep caramel bath.
Once all of the rolls are within the pan, generously spray a few plastic wrap with nonstick spray, and disguise the rolls. Do NOT overlook to spray the plastic wrap. Do NOT use a tea towel. The dough is lovely sticky, and in case your disguise sticks to them, it's going to holiday your lovely rise whenever you attempt to take it off. No, I'm now not in any respect bitter that this occurred to me on considered one of my experiment runs, why do you ask??
Pour the boiling water that you've at the range into the empty 9x13 inch pan that's at the decrease rack in your oven. Make particular which you simply remembered to turn off the oven. It must be good and warm but NOT HOT. You desire the rolls to rise, now not cook. If you accidentally left your oven on too long, depart the door open and permit it cool down. If the racks are too hot to contact together with your fingers, do now not positioned the rolls within the oven. Let them bounce growing on upper of the oven and positioned the rolls in when the oven has cooled a bit.
Let the included rolls rise with the water bath for about 45 minutes. They must be good and puffy. Don't open the oven door, now not once, otherwise you may lose your steam.
About 15 minutes earlier than the rolls are completed rising, take away the rolls and the pan of water from the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 stages F.
Once the rolls are fairly puffy and have simply about doubled in size, bake at 350 for about 35-45 minutes. Cover the rolls with a sheet of foil within the final 15-20 minutes of baking.
The rolls must be darkish golden on upper when solely baked. The finest strategy to realize if the rolls are completed within the core is to make use of a thermometer: the core of the rolls must be 190 stages F.
Let the rolls cool within the pan for about 20 minutes. At this level you possibly can both invert the total pan onto a platter (enlist help, or at the very least ethical support) or take away the rolls one by one. The rolls must be served bottom-side-up. Devour with a big glass of milk!
These rolls will hold for about 2 days, included and saved at the counter. They are finest served at the primary day though.

Recipe Notes
*The quantity of pecans you use is solely as plenty as you. You can use as low as 1 cup or as a lot as 2 cups. Or depart them out all collectively in case you're feeding near minded children. (I cannot judge. I used to be considered one of those kids.)

Overnight Instructions: Make the recipe as written via step 24 (except do now not boil the water). Once the rolls are shaped and at the pan, disguise as directed, then refrigerate overnight.  In the morning, practice the oven by preheating the oven (and then turning it off) and putting a pan of boiling water on a backside rack. (Remember to turn the oven off!) Let the rolls rise for the identical quantity of time and bake as directed. 

You could make the dough 2 days forward (keep chilled). You too could make the caramel sauce 2 days forward (keep chilled). The roll filling is also made ahead, simply shop it included at the counter.
