The Dough: Toffee Pecan Caramel Rolls
To make this caramel pecan cinnamon roll recipe, you’ll need a large mixing bowl and just a few pantry staples:
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup sourdough discard
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup honey
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until a soft dough forms. Place dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle shape.
The Filling: Classic Cinnamon Sugar Perfection
Here’s what you’ll need for the cinnamon sugar mixture:
• 1 stick softened butter
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Spread the butter evenly over the rolled-out dough using a rolling pin to keep the dough smooth and even. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon generously over the top of the dough. Roll up the dough tightly and slice into rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss. Arrange the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish. You can use a 9 x 13-inch pan or two smaller 9-inch pans.
Sticky Toffee Pecan Sauce: The Game-Changer
The real magic is in the sticky toffee pecan sauce. It transforms these rolls into gooey cinnamon rolls that are impossible to resist.
You’ll need:
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
How to Make It: Caramel-y Perfection
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
2. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 8-12 minutes until thickened.
3. Stir in the chopped toasted pecans and cook for 1-2 minutes, making sure they’re fully coated.
4. Let the caramel mixture cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
Pour the sticky toffee pecan sauce over the baked caramel pecan rolls for that perfectly caramelized topping. This gooey caramel sauce takes the place of cinnamon roll icing.
Bake and Serve Your Gooey Cinnamon Roll Dough
Bake the rolls at 375° for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling. Let them cool slightly, but not too long-you want to enjoy these sweet rolls while they’re warm and gooey.
