Prep time: 1 hour
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter

2 large eggs

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/3 cup maple syrup

2 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 1/2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

2. Heat milk and butter in a saucepan until warm and butter is melted. Add to the flour mixture.

3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in remaining flour until a soft dough forms.

4. Knead on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

5. Punch down dough, roll out to a 15x9 inch rectangle.

6. Spread softened butter over dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans.

7. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side; cut into 12 slices.

8. Place rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.

10. For glaze, mix powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
