INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine 1 1/2 cups warm water and 1/4 cup sugar in large bowl.
Sprinkle yeast over and let stand until foamy, about 6 minutes. Mix  in
vegetable oil and salt. Add enough flour, 1 cup at a time, to form
soft dough. Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Knead dough
until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if sticky, about 10
minutes.  Lightly oil another large bowl. Place dough in bowl; turn to
coat  with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then cover with kitchen
towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in  volume,
about 1 hour.  Beat butter, cinnamon and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in
medium bowl to  blend.  Turn dough out onto floured work surface (do
not punch down). Roll  out or press dough gently to 16x10-inch
rectangle. Using spatula,  spread 1 cup butter mixture evenly over
dough. Sprinkle with chopped  pecans. Starting at 1 long side, roll up
dough jelly-roll style,  forming log. Pinch seam and ends to seal.  Cut
log crosswise into 12 equal pieces. Spread remaining butter  mixture
over bottom of 15x10x2-inch metal baking pan. Sprinkle 1 cup  pecan
halves evenly over butter mixture in pan. Arrange rolls, cut  side
down, in prepared pan, spacing evenly. Cover pan with plastic  wrap.
Let rolls rise in warm draft-free area until light and puffed,  about
30 minutes.  Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325F. Bake
cinnamon  rolls uncovered until tops are golden brown, about 35
minutes.  Remove pan from oven. Using sharp knife, cut around sides of
pan.  Place large baking sheet over pan. Using oven mitts as aid, hold
baking sheet and pan together and turn over, releasing cinnamon rolls
onto sheet. Serve cinnamon rolls warm or at room temperature.  Makes 12
rolls.  Bon Appetit October 1999  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per serving:
