How to Make Philadelphia Sticky Buns
- **Yeast Dough:**
- Heat 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan until bubbles form around the edges.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter until melted. Cool to lukewarm.
- In a large bowl, sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast over 1/4 cup warm water. Stir to dissolve.
- Stir in the lukewarm milk mixture.
- Add 1 large egg and 2 cups all-purpose flour. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, mixing by hand until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 5-7 minutes).
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- **Topping:**
- While the dough is rising, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup packed light brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom and sides of a greased 9x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecan halves evenly over the brown sugar mixture.
- **Assembly & Baking:**
- Once the dough has doubled, roll it out into a 16x12-inch rectangle.
- Spread the dough with 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup raisins, and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon.
- Roll up the dough tightly, jelly-roll fashion, starting from the long side.
- Pinch the seam to seal. Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the sticky buns, cut-side down, into the prepared pan.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the sticky buns cool in the pan for 1 minute before inverting onto a plate.
