How to Make Quintessential Pecan Sticky Buns
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the wet ingredients to the yeast mixture. Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, 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 and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon filling: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened; 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Prepare the pecan topping: Combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted; 1 cup packed light brown sugar; 1 cup pecan halves.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough up from the long side. Cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and spread the pecan topping evenly over the bottom.
- Arrange the sticky bun slices, cut-side up, in the prepared pan.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
