This is a yummy recipe. You can also make homemade rolls with the roll dough.

Honey Pecan Sticky Rolls

For the rolls:
2 cups hot water
1/3 cup raw honey
1/3 cup butter softened
2 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup powdered milk
5-6 cups flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons Saf instant yeast
2⁄3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

for the filling:
1⁄4 cup butter, softened
3⁄4 cup honey
1 cup pecan halves

In a large bowl, combine first 5 ingredients along with 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add egg and yeast and combine. Add 2 more cups of flour and then add additional flour, 1⁄2 cup at a time until dough pulls away from side of bowl or if kneading, until it no longer sticks to your hands and it feels smooth and satiny. Be careful not to add too much flour or the rolls will be heavy. Place dough in a greased bowl and lightly grease the top of the dough. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise until triple in bulk.

Grease 2 muffin tins and at the bottom of each, place 1⁄2 teaspoon butter, 1⁄2 tablespoon honey, and 3 pecan halves.

Punch down dough and let rest for 5 minutes. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and roll out in two rectangles. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture (2/3 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, mixed together). Roll the long side of the dough up like a jelly roll and cut with string or knife into 1” slices. Place in prepared muffin tins and let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately turn out onto large platter.
