Cook Time 15 minutes mins

Course Bread

Cuisine American

Servings 24 individual rolls

Equipment

• 2 baking sheets
• basting brush

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 bag frozen dinner rolls (the type that needs to rise before baking)
• non-stick cooking spray
• 1 egg
• whole pecans

Instructions

 

• Spray baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
  
• Place rolls on pan & cover with plastic wrap. Check instructions on the bag to see how far apart to place rolls.
  
• Let rolls rise for two hours
• After the rolls have risen for 2 hours, remove plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, slice seven to eight sections of the roll, leaving the center intact.
  
• press a hole in the center of the roll so that you can insert a "stem" at the end of the baking time. I used a straw. You can also use an ink pen that you have sanitized with alcohol to make the hole
• re-cover with plastic wrap and let rise an additional one to two hours
• Before baking, make sure the holes is still indented. If not, make a new hole.
• pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
• To make the egg wash, add 1 T milk or water to one beaten egg.
  
• Use a basting brush to apply the egg wash
  
• bake rolls for 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown
• while rolls are baking, cut whole pecans into 3 pieces
  
• once the rolls have finished baking, place on cooling rack and insert "stem"
  
• after the rolls have finished cooling, they are ready to enjoy!
