Cooking Recipe Chocolate Caramel Pecan Rolls
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Heat
water and 2 Tbsp. butter until hot (120-130 degrees). Add water
mixture and egg to flour mixture and blend at low speed just until
mixed. Continue mixing at high speed for 3 minutes. Stir in as much
remaining flour as you can until dough pulls cleanly away from sides
of bowl.
On floured surface, knead about 2 minutes. Roll dough into a 15x7"
rectangle. Melt chocolate chips and 2 Tbsp. butter together; cool and
spread over rectangle. Sprinkle with pecans. Starting with long side,
roll dough up jelly-roll fashion. Cut into 12 slices.
Sprinkle a greased 13x9" pan with Topping ingredients (to follow).
Place dough slices on top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a
towel. Let rise in warm place until nearly double (35 to 40 minutes).
Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes; turn out onto a serving
platter. If desired, drizzle Chocolate Glaze (to follow) over the top
of rolls.
