Preparation Method Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
- Add the flour, salt, softened butter, and 300 ml of warm water. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll out each piece into a circle and place them on a greased baking sheet.
- Spread the raisins, pecans, and caramels evenly over the dough.
- Starting from one side, tightly roll up the dough and pinch the ends to seal.
- Place the turtle shapes on a greased baking sheet and let rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
