Ingredients:
For the Dough:
1 cup warm milk
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, room temperature
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chopped pecans for topping
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with sugar, melted butter, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the butter.
6. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.
7. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
9. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
10. Once the rolls are done, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling with the cream cheese glaze and topping with chopped pecans.
11. Serve warm and enjoy the heavenly aroma and taste of homemade Pecan Cinnamon Rolls!
