• Immediately remove from pan and set on a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet. Pour melted butter over the top and brush sides.

MARK'S PECAN ROLLS

Steps:

• Prepare the dough; In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; stir in milk, sugar, butter, salt, egg, and 2 cups flour. Mix until smooth. Add remaining 2 cups flour, and mix, using your hands, until incorporated.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Spray the inside of a large bowl with cooking spray; transfer dough to bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch down dough, and let rise again until doubled, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Prepare the topping: Spray muffin tin with cooking spray, and place over a baking sheet. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and pecan halves. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Divide pecan mixture between muffin tins.
• For the filling: In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 12-by-12-inch square. Spread butter over dough, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll up dough, and stretch to even out, if necessary. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 slices (1 inch each). Transfer slices to muffin tins, and let rise for 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecan rolls until lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven, and immediately invert onto heatproof plate. Without removing muffin tin, let stand for 1 to 2 minutes.

CARAMEL PECAN ROLLS

Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn the dough onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Combine the first three topping ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour into two greased 13x9-in. baking pans. Sprinkle with pecans; set aside. , Punch dough down; divide in half. Roll each into a 12x15-in. rectangle; spread with butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter. Roll up dough from one long side; pinch seams and turn ends under. Cut each roll into 12 slices. Place 12 slices, cut side down, in each baking pan.

BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Mix dry ingredients and beer.
• Pour into a greased loaf pan.
• Pour melted butter over mixture.
• Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
• UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread) mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
• Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.
• I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer. That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.
• The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).
• Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.

CARAMEL PECAN CINNAMON ROLLS (BREAD MACHINE RECIPE)

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.

BEER BREAD PECAN ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Bring beer to room temperature. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well blended. Add beer and stir until a moist dough is formed. Knead dough, adding a small amount of flour as needed, until dough doesn't stick to the board. 2. If you're making the bacon variation, cook the bacon slowly in a cast iron skillet to render out as much fat as possible. When crisp, remove and let cool on a paper towel. Crumble bacon. Add pecans to the pan (with remaining bacon grease) and toast lightly until fragrant. Set aside with the bacon. Note: If you're not using bacon, toast the nuts in a dry cast iron skillet until fragrant, set aside as above. 3. In a mixing bowl, mix remaining dry ingredients (brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves) 4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough on floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle cinnamon filling and top with the toasted pecans and crumbled bacon. Roll up like a log. 5. In the same cast iron pan, melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter with remaining brown sugar to make the caramel topping. Stir until dissolved. Add remaining raw pecans and distribute caramel evenly over the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat. 6. Cut cinnamon-roll log into slices about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place each roll into pan on top of the caramel topping, starting in the center and working outward in concentric circles until pan is full. Brush tops lightly with butter and bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes (rolls will brown slightly.) Place a round platter on top of pan and invert rolls onto platter so caramel topping is on top. Serve immediately.
