Homemade Pineapple Sweet Rolls

Makes 2 1/2 dozen.

I received this recipe a long time ago and have made these delicious rolls many times. I sometimes add some flaked coconut to the filling and sprinkle some toasted coconut on top of the glaze. This is my all time favorite.

2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)
1 1/2 cups warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
6 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Filling
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt

Glaze
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, butter, sugar, salt, eggs and 1 1/3 cups flour and beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface, kneading until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan. Add remaining filling ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer 3 to 4 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and cool.

Punch dough down and divide in half. Roll each half into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle and spread with filling. Roll up, jellyroll style, starting with long side. Slice into 1-inch rolls. Place with cut side down in two greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes and Cool.

Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over rolls.

Cinnamon Pecan Sticky Buns
Makes 12
These sticky buns have to be started the night before, but they're so
delicious, they're worth the extra time.

2 packages active dry yeast (1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm milk (about 110??)
6 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
4 large eggs
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut in pieces, plus
more for the pan
3 1/3 cups pecan halves
2 1/4 cups light corn syrup
1 1/4 cups packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1. In a small bowl, combine yeast and milk. Let stand until yeast is creamy,
about 10 minutes. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour,
granulated sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture and eggs, and mix on low speed
until completely combined, about 3 minutes.

2. Increase the speed to high, and add butter, several pieces at a time.
When all the butter has been added, continue mixing dough until it is smooth
and shiny, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined
13-by-18-inch baking pan, and use your hands to spread dough out to fit the
pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to chill
overnight.

3. Generously butter one 12-cup or two 6-cup, 7-ounce-capacity muffin pans.
Chop 2 cups pecans, and break remaining 1 1/3 cups pecans in half
lengthwise, keeping the two types separate. Pour 3 tablespoons corn syrup
into each muffin cup, and add about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to each
muffin cup. Add about 2 tablespoons of the halved pecans to each muffin cup,
and set the filled muffin pan aside.

4. Remove dough from the refrigerator, and let stand at room temperature
until slightly softened, about 15 minutes. Roll out dough lengthwise, 1/4
inch thick by 15 inches long by 20 inches wide. Using a spatula, spread sour
cream over the surface of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Dust sour cream
with cinnamon, and sprinkle with 2/3 cup brown sugar. Cover brown sugar with
chopped pecans, and roll dough up lengthwise to form a roll 18 inches long
by 3 inches in diameter.

5. Heat the oven to 350°. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into 1
1/2-inch-thick slices, and place in the prepared pan or pans, either cut
side down, until every cup is filled. Cover buns with parchment paper, and
let rise in a warm place until they rise 1/2 inch above cups, 20 to 30
minutes. Transfer sticky buns to the oven, placing a cookie sheet on the
rack below to catch any drips. Rotate the pans between the shelves to ensure
even baking, until buns are dark golden brown, about 40 minutes.

6. Remove the pans from the oven, and immediately turn buns out onto a
second parchment-covered cookie sheet. Replace any pecan halves that fell
off buns when turning them out. Place the cookie sheet on a wire rack to
cool.

Death by Cinnamon Rolls
 
Dough
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 cup sugar, divided
1 cup milk
1 cup butter
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs slightly beaten
6 cup flour

Filling
1 cup butter, softened
1 3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cinnamon
Topping
1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup

In a small bowl, combine yeast, warm water and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Stir and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix milk, remaining sugar, butter, salt and eggs. Stir well. Add yeast mixture to bowl and 3 cups of the flour; beat until smooth. Add additional flour until dough is stiff. Knead dough on well-floured board for 10 minutes. Place dough in bowl and cover. Set in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down dough and let it rest for 5 minutes. Roll dough on a floured surface to a 15-by-20-inch rectangle. (Don't use too much flour or the dough will get stiff.)

For the filling: Spread 1/2 cup of the softened butter on dough leaving 1/2-inch around the edges. Mix 1 1/2 cups of the sugar with the cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Roll like a jelly roll and pinch edge to seal. Cut dough into 12 slices, about 1-inch thick.

Melt remaining butter and coat the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch pan and an 8-inch square pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Place slices close together in pans. Smaller pan will be only half full. Let rise until dough is doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For the topping: In a saucepan combine the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup, cooking until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Pour over rolls. Bake for 25 minutes or until done. Cool before serving.

Serves 12.

Almond Filled Rolls

1 cup milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons margarine or butter, cut up
4 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast or bread machine yeast
1 8 ounce can almond paste, crumbled
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 egg yolk
milk, optional
red colored or plain coarse sugar, optional

Add the first 7 ingredients to a 2 pound bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions. Select the dough cycle. When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine. Punch down. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl beat together almond paste, the 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon all purpose flour and 1 egg yolk until smooth. Or, combine the ingredients in a food processor bowl. Cover and process until the mixture clings together. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 27 x 10 inch rectangle. Cut into twelve 10 x 2 1/4 inch strips. Divide almond mixture into 12 portions; roll each portion into a 9 1/2 inch long rope. Place a rope lengthwise down center of each strip of dough. Fold dough in half lengthwise to enclose filling; moisten edges of dough; seal. Place seams down, on greased large baking sheets. Form each filled strip into a heart shape; moisten ends and pinch together at base of heart to seal. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes or until nearly double. If desired, brush with a little milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake in a 350F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from baking sheets; cool on wire racks. Makes 12.
