Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup corn syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, and warm milk until smooth. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.
- Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Make the Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and chopped pecans until bubbly and thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a rectangle about half an inch thick on a floured surface.
- Fill the Dough: Spread softened butter over the dough, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon if desired, then roll tightly from one end to another and slice into generous pieces.
- Bake: Arrange sliced buns in a greased baking dish over the caramel sauce. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
