For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel sauce. If you don't have a bread machine, you can knead the dough by hand or use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled before proceeding. Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. You can test it by combining a small amount of yeast with warm water and sugar. If it foams within a few minutes, it's good to use. For a richer caramel flavor, consider using dark brown sugar. Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat gently before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Dough (1 hour 45 minutes): In the bucket of a bread machine, combine water, butter, bread flour, granulated sugar, milk powder, yeast, and salt in the order listed. Select the Dough cycle and let the machine work its magic. Once the cycle is complete, gently remove the dough.
02
StepCraft the Caramel Pecan Sauce (3 minutes): In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Pour the luscious sauce evenly into an 8-inch square baking pan. Sprinkle the chopped pecans generously over the sauce.
03
StepAssemble and Proof the Rolls (1 hour): Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Roll the dough into an 8x12-inch rectangle. Dot the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Starting from the longer side, tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 9 equal pieces, each about 1 1/3-inches thick. Arrange the rolls, cut-side down, in the prepared baking pan, nestling them into the caramel-pecan mixture. Cover loosely and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
04
StepBake to Golden Perfection (20-25 minutes): Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until they are a beautiful golden brown.
05
StepInvert and Serve (3 minutes): Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for no more than 3 minutes. This is crucial to prevent the caramel from hardening excessively. Place a serving platter on top of the pan, then carefully invert the pan onto the platter. Gently remove the pan, allowing the warm caramel pecan sauce to cascade over the rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy!
