Pecan Roll Ingredients

Method

Pecan Roll Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add the milk mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Roll and Fill

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the pecan mixture evenly over the dough. Roll up the dough tightly from one end to the other and pinch the seams to seal.

  5. 5

    Slice and Arrange

    Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade pecan rolls!
