The Ultimate Pecan Cream Cheese Rolls Recipe: A Delicious Morning Indulgence

Step 1: Preparing the Dough

1. Warm the milk to about 110°F, making sure it’s warm to touch, not hot. Add sugar and yeast, stirring gently. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Gradually add in the salt and flour, mixing until the dough comes together.
3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and slightly sticky. If you’re using a stand mixer, this should take about 5 minutes on medium speed with a dough hook attachment.
4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Making the Filling

• Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this aside.

Step 3: Rolling the Dough and Filling

1. Once the dough has doubled, turn it out onto a well-floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 14 x 18 inches in size.
2. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the cream cheese.
3. Starting at one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough, pinching the seam to seal.
4. Using a sharp knife or a piece of dental floss, slice the roll into 12 equal pieces.

Step 4: Baking the Rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Arrange the sliced rolls in the prepared baking dish, cover them with a clean kitchen towel, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until they’re puffy.
3. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until they’re golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 5: Preparing the Glaze and Finishing

1. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.

And there you have it, the most divine Pecan Cream Cheese Rolls, a perfect blend of fluffy dough, creamy filling, and crunchy pecans! Best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a hot cup of coffee, these rolls are sure to make your morning extra special.
