Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs. Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar and cinnamon together.
  6. Punch down dough and roll out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
  7. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toasted pecans on top.
  8. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge, then cut into 12 equal rolls.
  9. Prepare the sticky topping by melting butter with maple syrup and salt in a saucepan; pour evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
  10. Place rolls cut side down in the baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  12. Let cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter so the sticky topping coats the buns.

Notes

For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle additional warm maple syrup over the buns before serving or add a cream cheese glaze.
