Recipe Overnight Caramel Pecan Rolls (Bread)

Required Ingredients:

• 2 cups milk
• 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 egg
• 7 cups all-purpose flour
•  
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1 cup pecan halves
•  
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Preparing/Cooking:

• Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat.
• Let cool until lukewarm.
• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine yeast mixture, milk, sugar, oil, baking powder, salt, egg and 3 cups flour.
• Beat until smooth.
• Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
• When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil.
• Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Heat brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter until melted.
• Remove from heat; stir in corn syrup.
• Divide mixture between two 9x13 inch baking pans.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecans in each pan.
• When dough has doubled in size, punch down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
• Roll out into a large rectangle and spread with butter.
• Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
• Starting with the long side, roll up the rectangle into a log, and slice into 1 inch wide rolls.
• Place the rolls slightly apart in pans.
• Wrap pans with aluminum foil and refrigerate at least 12 hours but no longer than 48.
• Remove rolls from refrigerator and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake uncovered in preheated oven until golden 30 to 35 minutes.
• Immediately invert pan on heatproof serving plate.
• Wait for 1 or 2 minutes before removing pan, so that caramel drizzles over rolls.
