Ingredients:

 

1 ½ cups of chopped pecans

1 cup of pecan halves

3 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons of cinnamon

1 teaspoon of salt

1 cup of granulated sugar

5 teaspoons of dry yeast (around 2 packets)

1 cup of room temperature, unsalted butter

1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

1 ½ cups of warm water

 

Directions:

 

  1. Pour ¼ cup of sugar and the warm water into a large mixing bowl. Slowly pour the yeast over. Let it sit (3-5 minutes) until it gets foamy.

  2. Combine the vegetable oil and salt with it and mix it well.

  3. Slowly add the flour to the mix. ½ cup to 1 cup at a time to form the dough.

  4. Once the soft dough is made remove it from the bowl and place it on a floured, flat surface. Knead it until the dough is smooth and elastic, but not too sticky. Add a little flour to the surface area and the dough if it is too sticky.

  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled large mixing bowl, flip the dough to make sure all sides get coated with oil. Use a plastic wrap to cover the bowl, followed by a kitchen towel. Place it in a warm area and let it stand (1 hour) until the dough doubles in volume.

  6. While the dough is rising, blend the butter, cinnamon, and rest of the sugar.

  7. Once the dough is double in size, gently roll the dough out into a rectangle, around 16 x 10 inches.

  8. Spread the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the rectangle of dough. Add a layer of chopped pecans, spread evenly over the dough.

  9. Carefully roll the dough, until a log is formed. Cut the log into 12 pieces.

  10. Any remaining butter mixture can be spread over the bottom of the baking pan. Use a 15 x 10-inch cake pan. Spread 1 cup of pecan halves over the buttered pan. Once the pan is prepared, evenly space the rolls, with the cut side facing down. Cover the pan with a plastic wrap and set aside for 25-30 minutes in a warm area. Allow the rolls to puff up and rise.

  11. Make sure the rack is positioned in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  12. Uncover the cinnamon rolls and bake them for 25-35 minutes or until the tops are a nice golden brown. Let them cool down or serve them warm.
