Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon yeast
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted
5 -6 cups whole wheat hot roll mix, Whole-Wheat Hot Roll Mix
5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir the yeast into the warm water and allow to stand for 5 minutes or until frothy.
  • Stir in eggs and butter; beat in 5 cups of hot roll mix; let rest 2 minutes.

  • Clean and grease bowl, place dough in bowl, turning to grease all sides.
  • Cover with a damp towel, let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk.

  • Prepare the Caramel Topping by combining the whipping cream, brown sugar and nuts in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Punch down dough and let rest for 10 minutes; on lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 20 inch x 12 inch rectangle, about 1 inch thick.
  • Spread with Cinnamon Butter; roll up jelly-roll fashion; using a sharp knife, cut dough into twenty 1 inch slices.
  • Spread Caramel Topping evenly in a 15 inch x 10 inch baking sheet with raised sides; arrange slices on topping, cut-side down; cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, bake rolls 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
