Maybe it's strange but sometimes I get ideas of things to cook while lying in bed. Take for example the time I came up with the idea to make a fig, bacon and pulled pork pizza, lol! That one was a winner so let's hope this is one is too. Keep in mind, there is nothing wrong at all with my current cinnamon roll recipe but sometimes you just wing it to see if you can make it better. If nothing else, something a little different.
As I was lying in bed, the idea of using praline pecans with a salted caramel sauce, along with the regular cinnamon rolls, might be something wonderful. So to the store I went. My wife went as well so she could get some wings to smoke for dinner (mojo wings, mmmm mmmm!)
I got all the needed ingredients for the cinnamon rolls plus stuff to make my chipotle bbq sauce for tomorrow's meal (there will be pics of that tomorrow, don't you worry!)
I got home and made up some salted caramel sauce from scratch and it's wonderful! I also made up the cream cheese glaze. This evening I made the dough, let it rise, rolled it out and made my rolls. It went a little something like this :
Dough rolled out on greased counter top and loaded with BUTTA!
Next the brown sugar & cinnamon mixture
I crushed some pralines to sprinkle on there
Next I drizzled a little of the caramel sauce on
Rolled'er up
Cut it up and into a buttered dish and a little more caramel on top to soak in
Wrapped up for an overnight proof in the fridge
Tomorrow morning's toppings after baking : Cream cheese icing, more pralines and caramel sauce
It might be a failed experiment. These might suck.
BUT.....I highly doubt it
Stay tuned, I will post the final product tomorrow morning sometime.
