Pecan Roll Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a saucepan, heat milk and butter until warm but not boiling. Add to dry ingredients along with eggs. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.

   Prepare the Filling

   In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Melt butter and set aside.

   Roll Out the Dough

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

5. 5

   Add the Filling

   Brush melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the filling mixture evenly across the surface.

   Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 1-inch thick rolls.
