Description

Sweet and gooey sticky buns with a caramel pecan topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (105-115°F)
  • 1/2 cup milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine milk, granulated sugar, softened butter, egg, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. While dough rises, prepare the topping: In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in pecans.
  5. Punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
  6. Spread the caramel pecan mixture evenly over the dough.
  7. Starting from a long side, tightly roll up the dough. Pinch the seam to seal.
  8. Cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
  9. Place slices, cut side down, into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  10. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

Notes

  • For easier slicing, use a serrated knife.
  • If you prefer a gooier topping, add an extra tablespoon of corn syrup.
