Ingredients
Rolls
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 3 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. instant yeast
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
- 1 egg
Filling
- 1 cup brown sugar packed softened
- 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup pecans chopped
Frosting
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 Tbsp. milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in butter; stir until melted. Let cool until warm, NOT hot.Note: you can also heat the milk and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl for 90 seconds. Stir until the butter is completely melted. Cool until it is just warm, NOT hot.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add water, egg and the milk mixture; mix well.
- When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 2-3 minutes.
- Cover the dough with a cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, softened butter. It should be the consistency of frosting.
- Roll out dough into a 10"x18" inch rectangle.
- Spread dough with butter/sugar mixture. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal.
- Cover a large round pizza pan with parchment paper. Place cinnamon roll log onto parchment paper and bring the ends together to form a ring. Pinch ends together to seal.
- Using a SHARP knife or kitchen shears, cut the ring into slices making sure to NOT slice all the way through the dough. The sections need to still be connected.Make 1" - 1 ½" slices all the way around.
- Give each section a gentle pull then twist up slightly to lay it on top of the previous one.Continue to do this until all slices have been pulled and are overlapping the one next to it (watch my video for a better visual).
- Cover the wreath and let rest for 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Cool wreath for 10-15 minutes. While the wreath cools, beat frosting ingredients together.
- Drizzle or pour frosting over wreath.Garnish with cranberries, if desired.
