Creamy caramel-pecan rolls

What's better than spending a lazy weekend at home during a fall storm? How about eating this for breakfast:
We decided to start our stay-home weekend with these lovely homemade rolls from BHG.com. They were VERY tasty, but we decided that this recipe was a bit better.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 16-ounce loaves frozen white bread dough or sweet roll dough, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 3/4 cup raisins (optional)

Directions

1. Grease two 9 x 1-1/2-inch round baking pans; set pans aside. For topping, in a small bowl stir together powdered sugar and whipping cream; divide evenly between prepared baking pans. Sprinkle pecans evenly over sugar mixture.

2. In another small bowl stir together brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll each loaf of dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with brown sugar-cinnamon mixture. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.

3. Roll up each rectangle starting from a long side. Seal seams. Slice each roll into 12 pieces. Place, cut sides down, on topping in pans.

4. Cover; let rise in a warm place until nearly double (about 30 minutes). Break any surface bubbles with a greased toothpick.

5. Bake in a 375 degree f oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown (if necessary, cover rolls with foil the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning). Cool in pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Carefully invert rolls onto a serving platter. Serve warm. Makes 24 rolls.
