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.

KITTENCAL'S RAISIN STICKY BUNS



Kittencal's Raisin Sticky Buns image

You may definately use your own favorite sweet dough recipe for these buns I use my recipe#121574 --- raisins may be replaced with nuts if desired --- you may use two 9 or 10-inch round metal cakes pans in place of the 13x9-inch but you will need to divide the syrup mixture between the two pans and place 6 rolls in each pan --- for pan greasing see my recipe #78579

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 sweet roll dough (see Kittencal's Sweet Dough)
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon ginger powder
1/2 cup softened butter (can use a little more)
1 cup raisins (can use more if desired) or 1 cup chopped nuts (can use more if desired)

Steps:

  • Lighty grease a metal 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
  • Prepare sweet dough recipe as directed.
  • In a small bowl mix together 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and ginger powder; set aside.
  • While the dough is rising prepare the syrup by combining all syrup ingredients in a small saucepan; heat over medium heat stirring with wooden spoon until butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved; pour HALF of the syrup mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, spreading out with a spoon to cover evenly; set aside the remaining half to drizzle on top of buns later.
  • When the dough has finished rising punch dough, remove from bowl onto lightly floured surface; cover dough and let rest 5 minutes before rolling out (this will allow for easier shaping and rolling).
  • Roll out into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle (does not have to measure exactly).
  • Spread 1/2 cup softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with prepared sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter.
  • Scatter the raisins over evenly.
  • Roll up dough jell-roll style starting at the long side, then pinch dough together along the top to seal.
  • Using a serrated knife cut into 12 even slices.
  • Place the slices cut side down on top of the syrup (3 across the pan and 4 down).
  • Drizzle the remaining syrup of the top of each slice of dough.
  • Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise for 30-50 minutes or until doubled (the rising time will depend on what dough recipe you are using and the temperature of the room).
  • Bake in a 375°F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

KITTENCAL'S CABBAGE ROLLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Kittencal's Cabbage Rolls With Tomato Sauce image

This is my own recipe that I have made for over 25 years, I have made these for weddings, socials and large get togethers and everyone loves them --- I have two large cabbage listed as you will need extra cabbage leaves to line the bottom and top of the pan to prevent the rolls from over browning which may happen during the long cooking time --- cooked rice will also be fine for this and if you like lots of rice you may increase amount --- make certain that the heads of cabbage are frozen then completely thawed before starting this recipe, this will allow for easy removal of the leaves, allow the frozen cabbage heads thaw at room temperature overnight in bowls --- to save some time I most always remove the cabbage leaves a day ahead and refrigerate in a bowl and you may even prepare the ground beef mixture a day ahead so the following day just mix the sauce roll and cook --- for these cabbage rolls I do not precook the ground beef it will cook thoroughly in the oven --- I have listed the sauerkraut as optional if you are a sauerkraut-lover then add it in I most always do it really adds extra flavor to the cabbage and you may use more than 1/2 cup if desired --- the amounts listed will fill a 13 x 9-inch pan very full or even better so you do not over crowd the rolls a larger pan may be used or use two pans and freeze one for another meal, just thaw overnight in the fridge then allow to sit at room temperature for about 2 hours then cook as stated --- if you like lots of sauce then you may double amounts but I would suggest to make it in a larger baking pan if you are doubling the sauce.

Time 3h40m

Yield 16-20 cabbage rolls

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 large head green cabbage (frozen then completely thawed)
1/2 cup sauerkraut, hand-squeezed out to remove excess moisture (optional or adjust to taste)
1 lb lean uncooked ground beef
1 lb lean uncooked ground pork (or use 2 pounds lean ground beef or 1 lb each seasoned bulk pork sausage and ground beef)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional but good to add in for for extra flavor)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic powder (or use 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic)
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 -2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/2-3/4 cup uncooked instant Minute Rice (can increase to 1 cup)
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1 (10 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1/2-1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (I like to also add in some cayenne pepper also for a little heat)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F (second-lowest oven rack).
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan or use a larger pan (for easier clean up I strongly advise to use a disposable heavy foil pan).
  • Make certain that the cabbage heads are completely thawed before using for this (to do this remove the heads of cabbage from freezer and place in a bowl then thaw at room temperature overnight).
  • Using a small sharp knife carefully remove the hard core/stem from the center of the head, then remove the leaves from the cabbage (you may need to keep slicing off some middle part to remove the leaves easier).
  • To speed up cooking time you may want to cook the leaves in boiling salted water for about 8-10 minutes this will give the cabbage rolls a head start and reduce cooking time slightly.
  • Using your hands gently squeeze out 2 to 3 leaves at a time to remove excess water, then place the leaves in a large bowl; set aside.
  • FOR MEAT FILLING; using clean hands mix all ingredients together for the meat filling in large bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • FOR SAUCE; in another bowl combine all sauce ingredients together until blended (adjust the salt and pepper to taste).
  • Line the bottom of the pan with cabbage leaves (due to the long cooking time this will protect the rolls from over browning/burning in the pan while cooking, you may also place leaves on top of the sauce then cover with foil but that is optional).
  • Using a large spoon or a ladle drizzle half of the sauce over the leaves then spread out to cover the leaves (does not have to cover the leaves completely).
  • Stuff the cabbage leaves tightly but carefully with the meat mixture (I use about 1/3-cup for larger leaves).
  • Roll up tightly and place the rolls in a single layer on top of the cabbage leaves and sauce in the baking dish.
  • Drizzle the remaining sauce over the rolls (using a butter knife separate the rolls slightly to insure the sauce settles between and around each roll).
  • Sprinkle about 1/2 cup or a little more sauerkraut over the sauce (if using).
  • At this point you may cover the rolls with more leaves if desired (this is optional but good to do).
  • Cover tightly with foil.
  • IMPORTANT; if you are using a 13 x 9-inch dish it will be very full so place on a large jelly-roll pan to catch any spills.
  • Cook at 350 degrees F (oven rack set to second-lowest position) for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until the cabbage is very tender, the cooking time will vary depending on how thick the cabbage leaves are and if you have pre-boiled the leaves firstly, I usually check after about 2 hours).

KITTENCAL'S SOFT SUB ROLLS RECIPE - (4/5)



Kittencal's Soft Sub Rolls Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Addie

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons dry yeast
1/4 cup Crisco shortening, melted
1 cup full-fat milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour (more as needed)
1 tsp malt powder (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a kneader attachment. Place about 3-1/2 cups flour in the bowl. Melt the shortening in the microwave; add to the bowl with the flour. 2. In a measuring cup, measure out 1 cup milk, then add in 4 tablespoons sugar and the salt; heat until quite warm in the microwave, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour the milk into the bowl with the melted shortening and flour; cover the bowl with a towel to keep ingredients warm. 3. Proof the yeast in a 3/4 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy. After proofing, add to the bowl and start kneading for about 3-4 minutes, then add in more flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough, knead about 8 more minutes until smooth. 4. Place the dough on a very lightly floured counter or board; let rest for 5-10 minutes, covered with a clean tea towel. Grease a large bowl, then place the dough into bowl to rise in a warm place for about 50-60 minutes (because of the amount of yeast, the dough should take a shorter rising time in a warm place). Punch down dough. 5. Cut into pieces (I usually cut into 6 pieces), and shape large balls. Let dough balls rest for about 4 minutes (or just enough time to make shaping easier). Shape the dough into desired length for buns. 6. Sprinkle a large cookie/baking sheet with cornmeal, or lightly grease with cooking spray. Place the long pieces of dough on a baking sheet (shape once again if you need to). 7. Cover and let rise for about 25 minutes, or until doubled. Set oven to 375 degrees. Bake for about 22-25 minutes, or until dark golden brown. Note: If desired after the second rising and just before baking, beat one egg white with 1 teaspoon cold water, then brush on buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ REVIEWS: Great sub/sandwich roll recipe! I used our leftover bun for garlic cheese bread, and it was fabulous! The dough is so supple, and the finished product is slightly sweet - delish! There were great! I used them to make roast beef dip sandwiches and they were just perfect served fresh and hot. Easy to slice too! Thanks, Kittencal. This recipe was easy to work with and the buns tasted great. I made into 8 instead of 6. Have been wanting to make sub rolls, and this recipe was a success. Thanks so much. My son had his bologna and cheese with mayo (I know, I know but it's the only thing he will take for lunch right now) sandwich on these every day this week. I sliced and froze them after baking and made his sandwich each morning with the frozen bread. Thawed by lunch, but stayed cold and didn't get soggy. Thanks so much! For someone such as myself that is not experienced with working with yeast, I would say that this is a wonderful bun recipe, with easy to follow directions. I made this by hand, and the buns turned out so light and airy, I do believe I will keep making this recipe for a long time to come. Thanks! EXCELLENT!!!!!I don't know what else to say! These were so easy. The dough is like a dream, so soft and supple. They baked up beautifully. I put some poppy seeds on a couple, sesame on a few, and I am so happy with this recipe! Thanks, Kittencal! My DH was wanting his sandwiches on BIG buns and I have been looking for the perfect bun recipe so I tried these...WOW. I've found that recipe. They came out so soft, BIG, and chewy, with that lite and slightly crispy crust. I made 6 but let them rise an extra 1/2 hour(I think the room they rose in was a little too cold for them.). They were so light. Just the way we all like them.

KITTENCAL'S JUMBO CINNAMON BUNS/ROLLS



Kittencal's Jumbo Cinnamon Buns/Rolls image

These are large soft tender buttery rolls, the dough is rolled up from the short end creating more layers of cinnamon filling --- Canadian members use all-purpose flour, and bread flour for U.S. members --- to speed things up place the egg in a cup with very warm water for about 15 minutes to bring to room temperature --- you may of coarse use your own favorite icing for the buns --- since every dough rises at different times, the prep times is only estimated this dough is made using egg which will need slightly more rising time then dough made without --- don't be skimpy with the butter and brown sugar mixture, the more the better! :)

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup warm water
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1 large egg (room temperature, then slighty beaten)
4 -5 cups white flour (more if needed)
1/2 cup soft butter (can use more butter, I always do, more is better, no substitutes please!)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
3 -4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup raisins, can use more (optional)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1 cup walnuts, can use more (optional)
glaze, for the roll (see my Kittencal's Easy Creamy White Glaze)

Steps:

  • For the dough; fit a heavy-duty stand mixer with the dough hook.
  • Place 4 cups flour in the stainless steel bowl; set aside.
  • Proof the yeast with 2 teaspoons sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
  • Meanwhile in a microwave-safe bowl place the milk with butter cubes, salt and sugar; microwave on high until just slightly warmed (about 1 minute or a little more the butter does not have to be completely melted) stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  • Add the mixture to the bowl along with the egg.
  • When the yeast is foamy add to the bowl.
  • Start kneading adding in more flour as needed to create a soft smooth dough (kneading will take about 8-10 minutes).
  • Remove to a lightly floured surface, cover with a clean tea towel and allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and place into a greased bowl; cover and rise for about 1-1/2 hours or until doubled (the rising time will vary depending on how warm your kitchen is).
  • Punch down the dough and allow to rest in bowl for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar with cinnamon.
  • Transfer to a floured surface, roll into about 18 x 13-inch rectangle with short end facing you to make rolling up easier (I just spread out the dough using my hands, the measurments do not have to be exact).
  • Spread the softened butter over the dough (you can use more than 1/2 cup buter if desired, I usually do!).
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter, sprinkle with raisins and/or nuts if using.
  • Starting at the short end roll up the dough as tightly as possible (the dough will spread out even more while rolling).
  • Pinch the long seam together as best you can, you might also want to slice a small piece off both ends to even off the roll).
  • Using a serrated knife slice log into two even halves, then slice each half into 6 even slices (this will give you 12 pieces, although I sometimes get less).
  • Generously butter two 9-inch round cake pans (or use one 13 x 9-inch pan and place 3 rounds across, 4 rounds down in the pan).
  • In each round cake pan place 5 dough rounds around the pan and 1 dough round in the middle placing cut-side down.
  • Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled (this may take about 1 to 1-1/2 hours or more depending on the temperature of your kitchen).
  • Set oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake until browned about 25 minutes.
  • Cool the buns slightly then drizzle the icing over the warm buns.

KITTENCAL'S DRY RUB FOR PORK RIBS, ROASTS OR CHOPS



Kittencal's Dry Rub for Pork Ribs, Roasts or Chops image

If you like more heat then increase the cayenne to suit taste and If you are using this rub for pork shoulder or Boston butt I would recommend to use coarse ground black pepper and for ribs use the fine ground black pepper, make certain to rub the tarragon, rosemary and thyme herbs between fingers to release the flavor.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, active yeast. This will ensure that your buns rise properly.
  • Make sure your milk is lukewarm, not hot. Hot milk will kill the yeast.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overproof the dough. Overproofed dough will result in dense, gummy buns.
  • Roll the dough out thinly. This will help the buns to cook evenly.
  • Brush the buns with melted butter before baking. This will give them a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the buns warm, fresh from the oven. They're best enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea.
