Ingredients

180 ml water
30 g butter
240 g white bread flour
30 g white sugar
22.5 g nonfat dry milk powder
5 g fast-rising dry yeast
2.5 g salt
100 g brown sugar
60 ml light corn syrup
60 g butter
40 g chopped pecans
60 g butter, softened
2.5 g ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1
To make the dough, combine water, butter, bread flour, white sugar, milk powder, yeast, and salt in the bucket of a bread machine in that order. Select the Dough cycle. Once the cycle is complete (about 1 hour 45 minutes), remove the dough from the machine.
Step 2
In the meantime, make the sauce by combining brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved (about 3 minutes). Pour the sauce into an 8-inch square baking pan, sprinkle with pecans, and set it aside.
Step 3
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, punch it down, and roll it into an 8x12-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll up the dough and pinch the seams together. Slice the roll into 9 equal pieces, about 3 cm thick, and place them cut-side down into the baking pan on top of the pecans. Set aside until the rolls double in size (about 1 hour).
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Step 5
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown (20 to 25 minutes). Cool in the pan for no more than 3 minutes, then invert a serving platter on top of the pan and carefully turn it over. Remove the pan to release the rolls and allow the pecan sauce to flow over the rolls.
