Cinnamon in bakes is always a good idea, right?! I could eat cinnamon rolls all day long. In combination with some nuts they get even better I think. That’s why I made my Cinnamon Sticky Buns today with pecans. So good. So sticky ;) In case you are going to bake these fellas one day, you will see yourself. Awesome combination! The minute they hit the oven you can smell them in the complete house. I’m drooling already just thinking of it ;)
I’m in general a big fan of bakes that include cinnamon to flavor them. Regular cinnamon rolls, pound cakes with cinnamon or classic German cinnamon stars for Christmas… all so good! Do you have a flavor of flavor combination you like a lot? Let me know in the comments :)
The Sticky Buns here are basically cinnamon rolls topped with a caramel-like, sticky sauce with maple syrup and pecans. Even though the topping is on top at the end, it’s actually baked the other way round. Basically like Tarte Tatin or any upside down cake out there. The maple pecan sauce is cooking in the base of the tin, getting nice and tick while the buns are baking on top ;) Before serving you got to turn that buns upside down so the sauce can slowly drip down on the side of the buns and into the buns… I think I’m starting to drool again ;) So one important note: use a serving plate with a small rim or your table will be sticky along with the sticky buns ;P
I guess all fans of cinnamon rolls will be more than happy with this version of the rolls/buns. The yeast dough is easy to handle, so even people that want to try a bake like this one here for the time, will have no problems I assume. If you don’t like pecans, use other nuts. Walnuts go well with the maple flavor as well as almonds. I think dried fruits could also work… maybe some pineapple if you like it a bit more exotic.
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
6.75 fl.oz. (200ml) milk
1.5 oz. (42g) fresh yeast
18 oz. (500g) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. sugar
pinch of salt
2 medium eggs, at room temperature
3.5 oz. (100g) butter, at room temperature
For the topping:
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
4 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. maple syrup
3.5 oz. (100g) pecans, chopped
For the filling:
4 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 cup (50g) brown sugar
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
200ml Milch
42g frische Hefe
500g Mehl (Type 550)
2 EL Zucker
Prise Salz
2 Eier (M), Zimmertemperatur
100g Butter, Zimmertemperatur
Für das Topping:
150g brauner Zucker
4 EL Butter
3 EL Ahornsirup
100g Pekannüsse, gehackt
Für die Füllung:
4 EL Butter, geschmolzen
50g brauner Zucker
1 EL Zimt
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. When the yeast has bubbled up add the eggs and butter and knead for about 10 minutes to get a nice smooth (and a bit sticky) dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about 1 hour in a warm place until the size has almost doubled.
3. While the dough is rising line a 9×13 inches (23x33cm) baking pan with baking parchment and set aside. Add the sugar, butter and maple syrup for the topping to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and pour into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly and sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Set aside.
4. Place the risen dough on a floured surface and knead once more shortly to get some of the air out. Roll out to a rectangle with about 12×18 inches (30x45cm). Brush the melted butter on top of the dough, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle the dough evenly with it. Roll up from the longer side and cut into 12 or 16 rolls. Place the rolls in the prepared baking pan (flat side down so you can see the swirls). Cover and let rise another 30-45 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). When the rolls have risen enough, place in the middle of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and remove immediately from the pan by placing a large serving plate on top and flipping it upside down – be careful it is very hot! Remove the baking parchment and let cool down a bit – serve warm.
2. Sobald die Hefe genug gegangen ist die Eier und Fett zur Schüssel dazugeben und alles in etwa 10 Minuten zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Die Schüssel abdecken und den Teig für etwa 1 Stunde an einem warmen Ort gehen lassen, bis sich das Volumen verdoppelt hat.
3. Während der Teig geht, eine 23x33cm (9×13 inches) Backform mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Den Zucker für das Topping zusammen mit der Butter und Ahornsirup in einen kleinen Topf geben und aufkochen. Die Masse in die Backform schütten und gleichmäßig auf dem Boden verstreichen. Die gehackten Pekannüsse darüber streuen und dann zur Seite stellen.
4. Den gegangenen Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche noch einmal kurz durchkneten und dann zu einem Rechteck mit 30x45cm (12×18 inches) ausrollen. Den Teig mit geschmolzener Butter bestreichen, den braunen Zucker mit dem Zimt vermischen und dann auf der Butter verteilen. Von der längeren Seite her aufrollen und dann in 12 oder 16 Scheiben schneiden. Die Teigscheiben in die Form setzen (Schnittkanten nach oben) und dann abgedeckt noch einmal 30-45 Minuten gehen lassen.
5. Den Ofen auf 190°C (375°F) vorheizen. Sobald die Rollen schön aufgegangen sind, in den Ofen schieben und dann für 25-30 Minuten backen – sie sollten eine goldbraune Farbe bekommen haben. Die Form aus dem Ofen holen, eine Servierplatte auflegen und alles umdrehen – Vorsicht sehr heiß! Das Backpapier abziehen und dann etwas abkühlen lassen. Warm servieren.

Delicious sticky buns with caramelized pecans and cinnamon filling… is there anything better in the world? ;)
Ingredients
For the dough
- 6.75 fl.oz. (200ml) milk
- 1.5 oz. (42g) fresh yeast
- 18 oz. (500g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- pinch of salt
- 2 medium eggs, at room temperature
- 3.5 oz. (100g) butter, at room temperature
For the topping
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar

- 3.5 oz. (100g) pecans, chopped
For the filling
- 4 tbsp. butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (50g) brown sugar

Instructions
- Heat up the milk until lukewarm (microwave or on a stove). Add the fresh yeast and mix until dissolved. Add the flour, sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix. Make a depression in the center of the flour in the bowl and pour the yeast milk into that depression. Cover the milk with some flour from the sides and let sit in a warm place for about 15 minutes. While waiting, chop the pecans and set aside.
- When the yeast has bubbled up add the eggs and butter and knead for about 10 minutes to get a nice smooth (and a bit sticky) dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about 1 hour in a warm place until the size has almost doubled.
- While the dough is rising line a 9×13 inches (23x33cm) baking pan with baking parchment and set aside. Add the sugar, butter and maple syrup for the topping to a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
