EASY STICKY BUNS

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 buns

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup pecans, chopped in very large pieces
1 package (17.3-ounces/ 2-sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a 12-cup standard muffin tin on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 12 tablespoons butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Place 1 rounded tablespoon of the mixture in each of the 12 muffin cups. Distribute the pecans evenly among the 12 muffin cups on top of the butter and sugar mixture.
  • Lightly flour a wooden board or stone surface. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry with the folds going left to right. Brush the whole sheet with the melted butter. Leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry, sprinkle each sheet with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of the raisins. Starting with the end nearest you, roll the pastry up snugly like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam side down. Trim the ends of the roll about 1/2-inch and discard. Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place each piece, spiral side up, in 6 of the muffin cups. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry to make 12 sticky buns.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the sticky buns are golden to dark brown on top and firm to the touch. Be careful - they're hot! Allow to cool for 5 minutes only, invert the buns onto the parchment paper (ease the filling and pecans out onto the buns with a spoon) and cool completely.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup crushed walnuts
1 Golden Delicious apple, diced
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle caffeinated citrus-flavored soda (such as Mountain Dew®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Roll 1 can of crescent rolls out on a cutting board. Make one single piece of dough by rolling the dough with a rolling pin to a 9x13-inch rectangle; make sure the seams don't separate. Repeat with remaining can of crescent rolls. Set 1 dough sheet atop the other to make a double crust.
  • Mix 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, crushed walnuts, and diced apples in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough lengthwise, so you end up with a long tube. Cut into 1-inch slices. Place the rolls into prepared dish facing up.
  • Melt butter with 1 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk citrus-flavored soda into the butter mixture; pour over cinnamon rolls.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and no longer doughy in the middle, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Flip the rolls out of the baking dish onto baking sheet and allow the sticky sauce to drip over the rolls.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Apples: Fresh apples will give your sticky buns the best flavor. If you're using Granny Smith apples, you may want to peel them before grating, as they can be a bit tart.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make your sticky buns tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. If your kitchen is cold, you can preheat your oven to the lowest setting and then turn it off. Place the dough in the oven with the door closed to create a warm environment for rising.
  • Don't Overcook the Sticky Buns: The sticky buns are done baking when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
