Buns of Stickiness (Caramel Cinnamon Rolls, no egg in recipe)

Done in a little over an hour. Quick for a home made bread treat.

The bread dough ingredients are basic and simple. Here they are:

• 2 1/2 Cups Warm Milk (water can be substituted)
• 2 T. Yeast
• 2 T. Sugar
• 1 t. Salt
• 3 T. Oil
• ¾ cup sugar
• 5 1/2 -6 Cups Flour (use approximately 5 cups all purpose flour and 1 cup self rising flour)

Cinnamon roll ingredients

• Cinnamon and Sugar Mixture  (about 2 tablespoons Cinnamon and 6 Tablespoons Sugar), divided
• ½ cup butter,softened  (divided)
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, divided
• 1 jar warmed caramel sauce, divided

Prep – Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

First:  Add yeast and then sprinkle the sugar over the 2 1/2 cups of milk.  Stir until sugar dissolves.  Let it sit for about five minutes until you see the yeast get all bubbly on top.
Next:  Stir in the salt, oil, sugar and flour.
Then:  Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and pulls away from the bowl

Then cover your bowl with a warm wet towel and let the dough sit in a warm room for about 15 minutes.
If you have a warming drawer in your oven, put your bowl in the warming drawer on the lowest setting.

To make the Buns of Stickiness:

Next, divide the dough into two balls. Put one ball on a pastry mat and roll into a square.  Spread butter all over the dough with a pivoted spatula (or a knife).  Sprinkle ½ of the cinnamon and sugar mixture all over the square.  Sprinkle ½ of the nuts onto the cinnamon and sugar and gently press into the dough.  Drizzle  ½ of the caramel sauce over the pecans.  Roll into a log.  Cut with a sharp knife into 1 inch slices and place cut side up on a baking stone or baking pan.  Cover with plastic wrap or a warm towel.  (I like to use the showercap like plastic food covers) Let rise in a warm room for about 15 minutes.   Repeat the  steps  with the other ball of dough.   Bake for 20 - 30 minutes in a 375 degree oven until golden brown.  Rotate the pan midway through the baking process.
