1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warmed milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and chopped pecans. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over the surface, and sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly. Roll tightly and slice into individual rolls.
Bake the Rolls: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and pour caramel sauce over the top. Let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Serve: Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce if desired.
