Pecan Cinnamon Rolls image

The dough for these pecan cinnamon rolls rises well and creates a light and fluffy cinnamon roll. The style of making these rolls is not traditional but makes them very easy to make. The filling is sweet and filled with cinnamon. Pecans add a delightful crunch. These would be delicious to wake up to any morning.
