Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 - 3 cups flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg

Filling

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter softned
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. In a microwave bowl/measuring cup combine the milk and butter. Heat until about 120 degrees F.
  • Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add the eggs and mix in with a wooden spoon. Gradually add the rest of the flour just until the dough slightly sticks to your fingers. Knead the dough for about 5 to 8 minutes.  
  • Grease the bottom of the bowl and turn the bread to coat both sides. Let the bread rise for an hour. 
  • Punch down and on a greased surface pat the dough out to form a 12-inch circle. 
  • Take the softened butter and spread over the dough. Combine the 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and sprinkle over the butter. Sprinkle the pecans over top of the sugar.
  • Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife cut the circle into 12 triangles/pie shapes. Starting from the outside of the triangle roll the dough until the point. Making sure that the end/point is tucked under the roll place on a greased baking sheet.
  • Continue with all of the rolls until they are all rolled up. Let the roll-ups rest for 20 minutes. 
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Once the roll-ups have rested for 20 minutes place in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a cooling rack.
  • While the roll-ups are cooling make the frosting. In a small saucepan place the 1/2 cup brown sugar, cream, and butter. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually and stir until the frosting is smooth and the right consistency. Frost the rolls-up and enjoy
