Cinnamon Pecan Swirl Rolls

1. Preheat Oven and Grease Pan

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter.

2. Prepare Filling

In a medium bowl, mix together the very soft 1/2 cup butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and toasted chopped pecans until smooth.

3. Make Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, fine salt, and baking soda. Add the canola oil and mix until incorporated. Stir in the buttermilk until just blended, forming a soft dough.

4. Knead and Roll Dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about a minute. Roll the dough out into a 15-by-8-inch rectangle.

5. Add Filling and Shape Rolls

Spread the prepared filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border all around. Starting from one long side, roll the dough into a tight cylinder, and then use a serrated knife to cut it into 8 slices.

6. Bake Rolls

Place the slices in the greased cake pan, spacing them evenly. Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant.

7. Prepare Glaze

While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, beat together the very soft cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

8. Glaze and Serve

Once the rolls are done, let them cool in the pan for about 3-4 minutes before drizzling the glaze over them. Serve the rolls warm.
