Ingredients
  

Dough

Filling

  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 6 tbsp brown sugar, packed
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ to ¾ cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
  • Butter for the baking dish

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Recommended Equipment

Instructions

  • Whisk the milk, egg, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla together until blended. Following the bread machine manufacturer's instructions for order, add the milk mixture to the bread machine pan along with the flour, 4 tablespoons softened butter, salt, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and yeast.
    1 cup milk | 1 large egg | 2 tsp vanilla extract | 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour | 4 tbsp unsalted butter | 1 tsp fine salt | 1/3 cup granulated sugar | 3 tsp instant yeast
  • Set your machine on the rapid dough cycle.
  • Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out to make a rectangle about 10-by-20 inches. Spread the rolled out dough with the 3 tablespoons of melted butter.

    • If the dough springs back while rolling, let it rest for 5 minutes and then continue. That helps the gluten relax.
  • In a small bowl, combine the 6 tablespoons of brown sugar with 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon and the chopped pecans, if using. Sprinkle evenly over the entire buttered surface. Roll up tightly from the long end; pinch seams to seal.

  • Cut the roll into 1-inch slices.
  • Place the rolls, cut side down, in a buttered 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise in a draft-free place for 45 minutes.

  • Let the rolls cool in the pan on a rack for a few minutes.
  • Combine the 2 tablespoons of melted butter with 3 tablespoons of hot water and 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract. Stir in confectioners' sugar, then add a little more hot water to make an icing you can drizzle over the rolls. If too thin, add small amounts of confectioners' sugar until you have a good drizzling consistency. Spoon the icing over the warm rolls.
