Hints & Tips
- If the cinnamon filling does not spread easily, microwave it a few seconds at a time until just softened, but not runny.
- Use unflavoured dental floss for slicing the rolled log. Instead of pressing down on the pastry with a knife, the floss slices from the outside towards the centre with a near-even pressure from all sides, giving your rolls a uniform, round shape.

Instructions
Filling
- Place butter, brown sugar and cinnamon into mixing bowl and mix 45 sec/speed 4. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Dough
- Place water, milk, butter, sugar and yeast into mixing bowl and heat 3 min/37°C/speed 1. Meanwhile grease a large bowl and set aside.
- Add flour, salt and vanilla and mix 10 sec/speed 5. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula and knead Dough /3 min. Shape dough into a ball and transfer to prepared bowl, cover with lightly greased cling wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approx. 90 min.).
Topping
- Place a round baking dish (approx. 20 cm/8 in.) onto mixing bowl lid and weigh in brown sugar, butter, honey, salt, and pecans. Mix to combine and place the dish onto a baking sheet.
Shaping
- Once dough has doubled in size, transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll out to a rectangle (approx. 30 cm x 23 cm/12 in. x 9 in.). Spread reserved filling mixture over the entire surface (see Tip). Starting with the long side, roll dough into a log shape, pinching at edges to seal. Cut into equal slices 4 cm/1½ in. thick (see Tip). Transfer to a lightly floured work surface 5 cm/2 in. apart. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise 40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Place baking dish with brown sugar mixture into a cold oven and preheat to 180°C/350°F.
- After preheating, carefully remove baking dish from oven and stir the brown sugar mixture. Arrange the risen rolls in the baking dish cut sides down and bake 35-40 minutes (180°C/350°F).
- Let cool 5 minutes, then carefully invert the baking dish onto the lid or serving plate. Use oven gloves or clean kitchen towels to handle the baking dish. Let rolls cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
