sticky buns .. .with pecans

I have several different sweet dough recipes.

This is a good starter. . .
it is small and therefore the dough is easily manageable.
It makes one 9X13 pan.
It can be baked the same day .. .
or refrigerated in the pan ready to bake the next morning.
Run to the kitchen. . .
I'll wait.
In a cereal bowl .. .
put 1 level tablespoon of regular yeast.
Add 1/2 cup of warm water ..
and
1 teaspoon of sugar.


In a small measuring cup.. .
put 3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup of real butter

Put it in the microwave for one minute.
(the butter may not be completely melted .. .that is fine)

Separate 3 farm fresh eggs.
Set the whites aside for a low fat omelet. . . (for tomorrow's breakfast. . . for obvious reasons)

Put the egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt

in a large bowl.



Stir together until blended.
Add the yeast.

Add 2 cups of flour.
Stir together.
Add one more cup of flour and continue to stir with a wooden spoon.

You will need one more cup of flour adding it slowly.

Use your hands if you don't have a dough machine.

Knead the dough on a well floured surface adding a bit of flour at a time.

Don't use more than 4 cups of flour.
The dough will still be a bit sticky.
That is okay.


The dough will still look sticky like this. . .
but it should hold its shape softly.

Let it sit a few minutes if it is very sticky. .

Put a wee bit more flour onto the board and give it a few more turns.


Put it into a greased bowl.

Cover it with plastic wrap.

Let it sit in a warm place until doubled.


Make the filling.
Melt. . 1/4 cup of butter
Add .. .1 tablespoon of cinnamon
Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar
Combine. . set aside until the dough is rolled out.

In a small saucepan. . .
put the ingredients that will form the topping.
1 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of butter
4 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of light corn syrup
Heat and stir until melted.
Pour mixture into a greased 9 X 13 pan.
Cover with about 2 cups of chopped pecans.



Roll out the dough into a rectangle. .
The dough should not be more than 1/4 inch deep.
The rectangle should measure about 12" X 18".
Spread the filling on the dough.

Roll the dough up jelly roll style.
Roll up the long side.
Cut the dough into 15 slices.


Place the rolls on top of the topping.
(why on earth are my rolls standing up now?)




Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Don't make it stick to the sides, or the rolls will run out of rising room.
Now. . at this point. .
you could refrigerate it for up to 8 hours. . .
I just allowed mine to double . .
about 1 hour.
They should look like this.
Preheat your oven to 350.



Bake until golden brown. .
About 30 - 35 minutes.
Now. . if you don't want the sticky topping . . . simply eliminate it. .
they taste awesome either way. .
still a nice small recipe.

As soon as they come out of the oven,
carefully flip the pan over on some parchment paper.
Lift the pan off the rolls.

Voila. .
call over your friends for a treat. . .
or. .
call in your sweetheart from the barn .. .
( if he hasn't already shown up)
woo hoo


Have a wonderful day my friends.

    I'm off to trying a couple of versions of raisin bread. Maybe I'll take part of the dough to make a pan of these too. (Have to compare the recipes.) Thanks for the inspiration...your pictures are great!
