Caramel Pecan Rolls for 12 Servings

Instructions:

1. Combine warm milk, a pinch of sugar, and yeast; let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Incorporate flour, remaining sugar, salt, egg, and softened butter. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (5-7 minutes by mixer).
3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
4. Stir together melted butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, and pecan halves. Spread evenly across the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
5. Punch down the risen dough and roll into a 12x18 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
6. Spread softened butter over the dough and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar-pecan mixture, pressing it lightly into the butter.
7. Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 even rolls using dental floss.
8. Place rolls atop the caramel base, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22-25 minutes until tops are lightly golden brown.
10. Allow the pan to cool for 2-3 minutes before flipping onto a serving platter.
