Caramel Nut Rolls

“How many cinnamon roll recipes have you actually baked?” asked Child 2 earlier. "Sure, they're always delicious - but do you really need so many different recipes for cinnamon rolls?" So I think yes!

So today I have a recipe for caramel nut cinnamon rolls for you - wonderfully fluffy cinnamon rolls with a really delicious caramel nut coating. The perfect soul food for me!

Ingredients

1 tsp dry yeast

60 ml warm water

150 ml lukewarm milk

1 tsp vinegar

1 egg

450 g flour

60 g soft butter

60 g brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 pinch of salt

100 g soft butter

120 g brown sugar

3 tsp cinnamon

50 g chopped nuts

Preparation

In a small bowl, mix the warm water with the dry yeast and a teaspoon of sugar and in a suitable glass or similar, mix the lukewarm milk with the vinegar. Cover and let both stand for about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix half of the flour with the softened butter, the remaining sugar, the baking powder and the salt.

Then add the yeast mixture, the milk-vinegar mixture and the egg and stir.

Then add the remaining flour in portions and knead thoroughly - if necessary, add a little more flour if the dough is still a little sticky.

Then roll out the dough on a floured work surface or similar (approx. 40 x 20 cm) and spread with approx. 50 g butter, mix approx. 1/3 of the sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle the butter with it.

Put the rest of the butter in a pan with the remaining sugar and let it caramelize slowly. Then remove the pan from the heat, add the chopped nuts and stir everything together.

Then roll up the dough from the long side and cut it into 12 slices of approximately the same thickness and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Distribute the nut mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls.

Let the rolls rise on the tray for about half an hour.

Then bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven at 400 °F (200 °C) upper and lower heat for about 20 to 25 minutes until they are nice and golden brown.

I like them best when they're still a little warm!
