Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups warm milk
• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup melted caramel
• 1 cup softened butter

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the yeast has dissolved.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the milk mixture, stirring until it forms a soft dough.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans. Set aside.
6. Roll the dough out into a rectangle that is about 18 x 24 inches. Spread the melted caramel over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the caramel.
7. Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seams to seal. Cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
8. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Place the slices in the pan and spread the softened butter over the top. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
