georgia pecan buns
These make a really large substantial roll. Great for gifting individually. Being allergic to cinnamon I have to find alternatives. Nutmeg adds a really nice warm comfort flavor here. You could always use cinnamon if you like and even leave out the pecans. Make them your own!! ENJOY!!

How To Make georgia pecan buns
-
1Warm milk up to 30 seconds in microwave, just until warm. Combine milk and yeast in a stand mixer until foamy. About 5 minutes. You’ll need your dough hook for this.
-
2Add eggs, flour, sugar and salt to the bowl and mix until a sticky dough forms. Beat in 2 tablespoons soft butter at a time, mixing well between each addition. Once dough is incorporated well, knead dough with hands for about 10 minutes.
-
3Shape the dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased (PAM spray) bowl. Cover with plastic and store in the fridge over night or for at lease 8 hours. It will double in size!
-
4Next you will roll dough onto a floured surface. Rolling it into a 12x16 rectangle.
-
5Spread the softened butter onto dough stopping just short of the edge of the short side. At this point you can combine your filling ingredients together and spread the on top of the butter.
-
6Roll the dough starting from the short edge, tightly into a spiral, making sure the edge sticks to seal the edge.
-
7Cut entire roll with a serrated knife in half. Then cut the two halves in half and each once again. You will have eight rolls.
-
8Place the spirals into a greased 9x13 pan. Cover with plastic and sit in warm location, allowing to rise for 30-90 minutes. They will be puffy and touching when ready.
-
9Bake the rolls 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. Once removing from the oven let cool for 5 minutes before frosting.
-
10Using a hand mixer beat the cream cheese and butter together. Add half the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon milk. Blending well. Add vanilla, remaining sugar and another tablespoon milk. Blending well. You can adjust to your desired consistency by adding more milk if you like.
