Currant Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
I like a good bread, not the frozen store kind that lacks flavor. This recipe actually has the fruit and nuts incorporated in the dough, which i really like. It is my favorite!!
Steps
In a large mixing bowl , combine 2 cups flour , sugar , yeast , and salt.
Heat milk and butter to 110 degrees.
Add to dry ingredients , beat for a few minutes to develop a good gluten.

Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Roll on floured surface into a 24 x 12-inch rectangle.
Melt remaining butter and spread evenly over dough leaving a one inch border on one lengthwise side.

Roll dough up and pinch off with dental floss or sewing thread into 24 rolls.
