Number Of Ingredients 26

For dough
1/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
1 envelope dry yeast
1/3 cup old fashioned oats
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 cups milk (do not use low-fat or nonfat)
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups (about) unbleached all purpose flour
Vegetable oil
For syrup
1 cup pure maple syrup
9 tablespoons (1 stick plus 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
For filling
3/4 cups pecans
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For assembly and baking
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • To make dough:
  • Place water in small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over and stir to blend. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 8 minutes.
  • Combine oats, 1/3 cup sugar, butter, lemon peel and salt in large bowl. Heat milk in small saucepan until bubbles from around edge of pan. Pour hot milk over oat mixture and stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool mixture to 105°F to 115°F, about 10 minutes.
  • Add egg, egg yolk, vanilla and dissolved yeast to oat mixture; stir to blend. Mix in 3 cups flour. Using firm spatula or large wooden spoon, beat batter 100 strokes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let batter rest 10 minutes.
  • Using spatula, mix enough flour into batter, 1/4 cupful at a time, to form soft dough. Turn dough out onto floured surface. Knead gently until smooth and slightly sticky dough forms, adding more flour if very sticky, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly oil large bowl. Place dough in bowl; turn to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then with towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, prepare syrup and filling.
  • To make syrup:
  • Butter two 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dishes. Combine maple syrup and butter in heavy medium skillet. Stir over medium heat until butter melts. Remove from heat. Mix in brown sugar. Pour half of syrup into each prepared dish; tilt to coat of bottom of dishes evenly. Sprinkle each with half of nuts; cool.
  • To make filling:
  • Combine all ingredients in processor. Using on/off turns, blend until pecans are finely chopped. Transfer mixture to bowl.
  • To assemble and bake:
  • Carefully turn doubled dough out onto floured surface (do not punch down dough). Roll dough gently to flatten slightly. Using hands, pull and stretch dough to 12 x 18-inch rectangle. Brush dough with all of melted butter. Sprinkle filling evenly over dough, leaving 1/2-inch plain border on 1 long side. Starting at long side opposite uncovered border, roll up dough jelly roll style, forming log. Pinch seam to seal.
  • Using heavy large knife, score log into 12 equal pieces. Cut log at scores. Arrange 6 pieces, cut side up and evenly spaced, in each prepared baking dish. Lightly press down on buns with palm of hand. Cover pans tightly with plastic wrap. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate overnight.)
  • Let buns rise in warm draft-free area until light and puffy, about 50 minutes if buns are at room temperature or 1 hour 15 minutes if refrigerated.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Bake buns uncovered until tops are golden brown and syrup bubbles thickly, reversing dishes halfway through baking, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove dishes from oven. Immediately place large baking sheet over 1 baking dish. Using oven mitts as aid, grasp dish and baking sheet together and turn over, releasing buns and topping onto sheet. Turn second dish of buns onto another sheet. Cool buns 5 minutes. (Can be made ahead. Cool buns completely. Wrap buns tightly with foil on baking sheet. Freeze up to 2 weeks. Bake frozen buns covered 375°F until heated through, about 15 minutes.) Serve buns hot.

MAPLE STICKY BUNS



Maple Sticky Buns image

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon yeast
2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons Vermont maple sugar (grade B)
2 tablespoons light oil
2 teaspoons salt
5 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 1/2 cups Vermont maple syrup (either grade A medium or grade B dark)
2 cups walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and add maple syrup. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until it builds a froth. When frothy, add oil, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat well. Add dry milk and wheat germ and mix, then add 2 to 3 more cups flour a little at a time. Knead dough for about 10 minutes. Let dough rise until it doubles in size and punch down.
  • In each pan, melt about 1 tablespoon butter. Add 3/4 cup grade A (medium) or grade B (dark) maple syrup and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Let the dough rise again until doubled in size. Bake until golden, about 30 minutes.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
  • Roll dough to about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness and spread butter and sprinkle maple sugar onto dough. Roll dough up like a jelly roll. Slice rolls about 1 inch thick and arrange into 2 (8-inch) round pan that have been prepared as follows:.

Tips:

  • Be sure to use fresh, active dry yeast. If your yeast is old or inactive, your buns will not rise properly.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place. The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Do not over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the buns tough.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to keep it even in thickness. This will help ensure that the buns cook evenly.
  • Brush the buns with maple syrup before baking. This will give them a beautiful glaze and help them to stay moist.
  • Bake the buns until they are golden brown and cooked through. Over-baking will make them dry.

Maple sticky buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. This recipe provides step-by-step instructions and helpful tips to ensure that your buns turn out perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
