**Leckere Honigschnecken**

**Ingredients:**
– 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
– ¾ cup warm milk
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– ½ cup honey
– ½ cup brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

**Instructions:**

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour and mix until the dough comes together.

3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.

7. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread this mixture over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

8. Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the honey mixture, if using.

9. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.

10. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.

11. Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes.

12. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

13. Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Leckere Honigschnecken warm with a drizzle of extra honey, if desired.
