Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 4 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
In the stand mixer bowl combine four cups of all-purpose flour, half a cup of sugar, a quarter teaspoon each of salt and nutmeg and a tablespoon of instant yeast. Stir.
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 tbsp Mexican vanilla blend
- 1 cup warm milk
Add two eggs, a tablespoon of Mexican vanilla blend and a cup of warm milk. Knead on medium three minutes.
- 5 tbsp butter
Reduce the speed, add five tablespoons of butter, then knead on medium seven minutes until the dough is smooth and sticky.
- butter
Form a ball, transfer to a greased bowl, rub the top with butter and cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Rise in a warm spot one and a half to two hours, until doubled.
- 1 stick butter
- salt
- 1½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the caramel, melt a stick of butter with a pinch of salt in a pan over medium heat. Add a cup and a half of brown sugar and a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and mix until the sugar dissolves.
Grease a baking dish. Fold the risen dough to knock out the air, reshape into a ball, then divide and shape into smaller balls.
- pecans
Cover the base of the dish with half the caramel and scatter pecans. Add the dough balls with room to rise.
Drizzle the rest of the caramel over and top with more pecans. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes.
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- powdered sugar
- heavy cream
- vanilla
For the frosting, cream two ounces of cream cheese with two tablespoons of butter, then mix in powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla. Transfer to a ziploc bag.
