Description

Delicious sticky buns with caramelized pecans and cinnamon filling… is there anything better in the world? ;)

Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  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.
