How to Make Fantastic Pecan Sticky Buns
- In a large bowl, combine warm water (105-115°F), yeast (2 1/4 tsp), and sugar (1 tbsp). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add melted butter (1/2 cup), eggs (2 large), salt (1 tsp), and vanilla extract (1 tsp) to the yeast mixture. Whisk well to combine.
- Gradually add flour (4 cups), mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pecan filling: In a saucepan, combine brown sugar (1 cup), butter (1/2 cup), corn syrup (1/4 cup), and pecans (1 cup). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and bubbly.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the pecan filling evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Arrange the sticky buns in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
- Invert the buns onto a serving platter to release the sticky caramel.
