Pecan Pumpkin Cinnamon Buns Bread Machine Halloween Spec Recipes

Steps:

• Add the ingredients to the bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Select the basic white bread cycle. Makes 16 servings.

Steps:

• Rolls:
• Place ingredients in machine following the specifications of that particular machine. Set for dough cycle. If bread machine seems to be working too hard to mix dough, sometimes I add 1 - 2 Tbls vegetable oil to get it moving better.
• After complete on dough cycle, remove from machine and roll out to about 17x10" rectangle. The larger you roll the rectangle, the more layers you have, which is really nice.
• Caramel Pecan Topping:.
• Mix butter, brown sugar and water together in a small saucepan, heat on low until butter is melted.
• Increase heat to medium and boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
• Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
• Pour into cake pan, then place pecan halves over the caramel.
• Filling:
• Mix together brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon.
• Moisten the dough by brushing with milk.
• Sprinkle brown sugar, pecan and cinnamon mixture over top.
• Roll tightly from long end, pinching edges closed when completely rolled (sometimes putting a little milk on the edge helps seal it).
• Slice rolled dough into 1/2" slices (or larger if a larger bun is preferred).
• Place into pan on top of caramel.
• Let rise until doubled (about an hour, or quicker if you put the pan on a heating pad).
• Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, until golden. Do not overbake.
• Invert onto a cookie sheet immediately, before caramel hardens.
