Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.333 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Additional brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Softened butter
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat milk until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, granulated sugar, and salt until the butter has melted. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, and 3 cups of flour. Beat until smooth using a stand mixer or hand mixer. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, turning the dough to coat it. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
To make the sticky topping, combine 1 cup brown sugar, honey, heavy cream, and pecans in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Pour this mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
On a floured surface, roll the risen dough into a rectangle, approximately 16x12 inches. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface.
Mix the additional 0.5 cup of brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the buttered dough. Carefully roll the dough tightly starting from the long side to form a log.
Cut the log into 12 even slices. Arrange the slices cut-side up in the prepared baking pan on top of the sticky topping. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the buns cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting them onto a serving platter. Serve warm and enjoy your gooey, sticky treat!
