A delightful twist on classic cinnamon rolls, featuring a rich maple pecan topping and a soft, fluffy dough.
Combine 1.5 cups of flour and yeast in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the yeast with flour helps distribute it evenly.
Heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan until warm and butter is melted.
Ensure the mixture is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
Add the warm mixture and eggs to the flour mixture and beat with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds, then on high for 3 minutes.
Scrape the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing.
Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can, then knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
Kneading develops gluten, giving the dough structure.
Let the dough rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent the dough from drying out.
Toast the pecans in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
Toasting enhances the nutty flavor of the pecans.
Prepare the topping by melting butter in a baking pan, then adding maple syrup, brown sugar, and pecans.
Spread the topping evenly to ensure each roll is coated.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread with butter, sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins, then roll up tightly.
Roll the dough tightly to create distinct spirals.
Cut the roll into 12 slices and arrange in the prepared baking pan.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Let the rolls rise until nearly doubled in size.
This step ensures the rolls are light and fluffy.
Bake the rolls at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Check the rolls halfway through to ensure even baking.
Invert the rolls onto a serving platter and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
