Description
Delightful sticky buns with soft dough, rich caramel, and a hint of cinnamon, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup pecans (optional)
- 1 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it stand for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Heat the milk, sugar, butter, and salt in a saucepan until warm and the butter melts—don’t boil it!
- Combine the milk mixture, egg, and yeast in a large bowl and stir well.
- Add in the flour and cinnamon, mixing until you create a dough. Knead it for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts if using.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into slices.
- Pour the caramel sauce into a baking dish and sprinkle pecans on top. Arrange the sliced rolls on this sweet base.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
- Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve warm for the best experience, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or paired with coffee or fruit.
