What You Need:

1/3 C + 1 tsp sugar, divided
1 pkg. dry yeast
3/4 C warm water, 100 to 110 degrees
5 tbsp butter, melted and divided
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
3 1/2 C of flour
2/3 C of brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp orange peel, grated
1/4 C pecans, chopped
1 C powdered sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp fat free milk

How to Make It:

Stir 1 tsp of the sugar and the yeast into the warm water until dissolved.
Allow to stand undisturbed for 5 minutes.
Whisk together the remaining sugar, 3 tbsp of butter, the salt and the egg together.
Add the yeast mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium until well blended.
Add the flour slowly, beating as you add on low until the mixture forms a soft dough.
Lightly flour a flat surface and turn the dough out onto the flour.
Knead the dough for 5 minutes, adding 1 tbsp of flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Spray a non metal bowl with cooking spray and add the dough ball, turning to coat.
Cover and allow to rest 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and punch it down using your knuckles.
Roll the dough into a rectangle and brush the top side with the remaining butter.
Toss together in a mixing bowl the brown sugar, cinnamon and orange peel.
Scatter the mixture over the dough to within 1/2 inch of all the edges.
Roll the dough, beginning with a long side into a tight jelly roll.
Slice the rolls into 18 pieces and place cut side up into a baking pan.
Cover and allow rising for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Set the oven temperature to 375 allowing it to preheat.
Bake the rolls 20 minutes or until the tops are a golden brown.
Place the powdered sugar, syrup and milk into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
Top the warm rolls with the glaze and serve.

Makes 18 rolls

Try these rolls for breakfast or a brunch and see how fast they go. A regular glaze of powdered sugar and milk may used if you wish. Waiting on the dough to rise before you baking them is the only hard part when it comes to making these tasty breakfast treats.
