Yield 1 loaf/ 20 Servings
INGREDIENTS:
1 dough recipe from Kitten’s Jumbo Cinnamon Rolls
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup heavy (33-35%) whipping cream
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, divided (can use more)
1 cup white sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
INSTRUCTIONS:———————————————-
Prepare the sweet dough according to instructions up to step# 9.
While rising the dough start the caramel sauce (start this right after rising as the sauce needs time to cool).
For caramel sauce, in a small saucepan, bring 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter and whipping cream to a boil; cook and stir for 3 minutes; cool slightly.
Pour half of the caramel sauce into a greased 10-inch fluted tube pan; sprinkle with half of the walnuts or pecans.
After the dough has risen, punch dough down then shape into 40 balls (about 1-1/4-in. diameter).
In a shallow bowl combine 1 cup of white sugar with 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon.
Place cooled melted butter in another bowl.
Dip balls first in melted butter, then roll in sugar mixture.
Place 20 balls in the tube pan; drizzle the dough balls with remaining caramel then top with nuts.
Top with remaining balls.
Cover and let rise until doubled (about 45 minutes).
Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown (cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly.)
Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
Serve warm.
