Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) Active Dry Yeast
- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- ½ cup Butter (melted)
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 cup Pecans (chopped)
- 1 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- 1. Activate the yeast: Warm milk to lukewarm, stir in yeast and sugar. Let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- 2. Prepare the dough: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, and cinnamon. Add the yeast mixture and combine until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.
- 3. Let it rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- 4. Make the caramel topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter until bubbly.
- 5. Shape the buns: Roll out risen dough into a rectangle. Spread melted butter over it and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and pecans before rolling into a log.
- 6. Cut and bake: Slice into equal pieces and place cut-side up in prepared caramel mixture. Let rise again for 30 minutes before baking at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
