Description

Sweet and sticky buns with maple and pecan flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

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, egg, melted butter, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. While dough rises, prepare the topping: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, pecans, melted butter, and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth. Pour into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
  6. Punch down dough and roll into a 12×18 inch rectangle.
  7. Spread with a thin layer of softened butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and a little extra sugar if desired.
  8. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from one long side. Cut into 12 equal slices.
  9. Place slices, cut-side down, over the topping in the prepared baking pan.
  10. Cover and let rise 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 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.

Notes

  • For a stronger maple flavor, use pure maple syrup.
  • Ensure the dough is well-kneaded for a light and fluffy texture.
  • Allow buns to cool slightly before inverting to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
