Ingredient

Rolls

3 1/2 to 4 cups Gold Medal™ All Purpose Flour or Gold Medal™ Bread Flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 packages regular active or fast-acting dry yeast (4 1/2 teaspoons)
1 cup very warm milk (120°F to 130°F)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg

Caramel Topping

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 cup pecan halves, if desired

Filling

1/2 cup chopped pecans or raisins, if desired
1/4 cup granulated sugar or packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

Step 1
In large bowl, mix 2 cups of the flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the salt and yeast. Add warm milk, 1/4 cup butter and egg. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to make dough easy to handle.

Step 2
Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead about 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place about 1 hour 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.

Step 3
In 2-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter to boiling, stirring constantly; remove from heat. Stir in corn syrup. Pour into 13x9-inch pan. Sprinkle with pecan halves.

Step 4
In small bowl, mix all filling ingredients except 2 tablespoons butter; set aside.

Step 5
Gently push fist into dough to deflate. Flatten dough with hands or rolling pin into 15x10-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Spread with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with filling. Roll rectangle up tightly, beginning at 15-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. With fingers, shape until even. With dental floss or a serrated knife, cut roll into 15 (1-inch) slices.

Step 6
Place slices slightly apart in pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place about 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.

Step 7
Heat oven to 350°F. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Place heatproof tray or serving plate upside down onto pan; immediately turn tray and pan over. Let pan remain 1 minute so caramel can drizzle over rolls; remove pan. Serve warm.

Recipe Tips

After placing slices in pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil; refrigerate 4 to 24 hours. Before baking, remove from refrigerator; remove plastic wrap or foil and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place about 2 hours or until dough has doubled in size. If some rising has occurred in the refrigerator, rising time may be less than 2 hours. Bake as directed.
Omit caramel topping and pecan halves. Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough slices in pan. Let rise and bake as directed in Steps 6 and 7—except do not turn pan upside down. Remove rolls from pan to cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes. Drizzle rolls with Vanilla Glaze (page 150) if desired.
