Chocolate Caramel Pecan Rolls

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Heat water and 2 tablespoon butter until hot (120-130 degrees). Add water mixture and egg to flour mixture and blend at low speed just until mixed. Continue mixing at high speed for 3 minutes. Stir in as much remaining flour as you can until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.

On floured surface, knead about 2 minutes. Roll dough into a 15×7” rectangle. Melt chocolate chips and 2 tablespoon butter together; cool and spread over rectangle. Sprinkle with pecans. Starting with long side, roll dough up jelly-roll fashion. Cut into 12 slices.

Sprinkle a greased 13×9” pan with Topping ingredients (to follow). Place dough slices on top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a towel. Let rise in warm place until nearly double (35 to 40 minutes). Bake at 375℉ (190℃) for 25 to 30 minutes; turn out onto a serving platter.

TOPPING: ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup pecans, chopped ½ cup butter, softened 2 Tb corn syrup. In a small bowl, combine all topping ingredients and mix well.
