My mother used to make delicious cinnamon rolls when I was a child. Later, she taught my sister and me to make them. I've since added the caramel and pecans. These scrumptious sticky buns are a huge hit wherever I take them. -Judy Powell, Star, Idaho

PECAN STICKY BUNS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 5h15m

Yield 9 large buns

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup (2 ounces) very warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
5 1/3 cups (24 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 cups (16 ounces) warm water (90 degrees F)
9 tablespoons (4 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (5 ounces) dark brown sugar, firmly packed
4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (2 3/4 ounces) pecan pieces, toasted
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (2 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place the yeast and warm water in a small bowl and stir with a fork to dissolve the yeast. Allow it to stand for about 3 minutes.
  • Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add the warm water and the yeast mixture and stir with your fingers to moisten the flour, scraping the sides of the bowl and folding the dough over itself until it gathers into a shaggy mass.
  • Move the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it by hand for 5 minutes. This is a soft, moist dough. If the dough seems too stiff and hard to knead, add extra warm water 1 tablespoon at a time until you get a nice malleable dough. Gently shape the dough into a loose ball, cover it with plastic, and let it rest on the table for 20 minutes. (This rest period is the autolyse.)
  • Gently knead the dough on the lightly floured surface for 1 to 2 more minutes, or until it becomes smooth, supple, and elastic but not too firm. The texture of the dough should be soft but springy. Shape the dough into a loose ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and turn to coat the top with oil. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature (75 to 77 degrees F) until it has doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • While the dough is rising; in a small saucepan, heat the 9 tablespoons butter and the dark brown sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sugar is completely moistened (it won't be dissolved), then whisk until the mixture looks silky and a little lighter in color. Use 1 tablespoon softened butter to grease the sides of a 9-inch square pan, then pour in the caramel, tilting the pan slightly so the mixture spreads evenly over the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the warm caramel and press them down slightly. Put the pan in the refrigerator to cool the caramel; be the pan's on a level surface. Put the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and stir until evenly mixed. Set aside.
  • When the dough has doubled, gently pour it out of the bowl onto the floured work surface. Flatten the dough and stretch it with your fingers to form a 13 by 10-inch rectangle, with a longside facing you. Work gently so you don't tear the dough surface. The dough should stretch easily at this point, but if it resists, let it rest for 5 minutes and resume stretching. Check to be sure the dough isn't sticking to the work surface; flour the table again, if necessary.
  • Spread 3 tablespoons of the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch strip unbuttered along the top edge. Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture generously and evenly over the butter, again leaving the top 1/2-inch of the rectangle bare. Starting with the bottom edge, roll up the dough jelly-roll fashion into a long log. If the dough sticks to the table as you're rolling, use a dough scraper to loosen it gently. Pinch gently but firmly along the seam to seal it. If necessary, gently shape the roll so it is a nice uniform log.
  • Take the caramel-lined pan out of the refrigerator. Cut the log of dough into 9 equal pieces. (It's easiest to mark the roll first to show where you're going to make the cuts--a slight indentation with the knife edge will do--then use a sharp serrated knife to cut completely through the dough.) Lay the pieces cut side down on top of the caramel. Don't worry if it's a tight fit. Let rise, uncovered, at room temperature until the dough has almost doubled, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours. The rolls should fill the pan and extend 1/2 to 3/4-inch above it. In the meantime, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the pan of sticky buns on a foil-lined baking sheet and place it in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 30 to 40 minutes longer, until the tops of the buns are golden brown and crusty. It's important to bake the buns long enough so the dough is cooked all the way through and the caramel topping develops properly. Set the pan of buns on a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Then quickly but carefully turn the pan upside-down and release the sticky buns onto a large flat heatproof plate. Immediately scrape out any hot caramel remaining in the bottom of the pan and spread it on the tops of the buns, filling in any bare spots. Let them cool until just warm before serving. (Clean the pan by soaking it in very hot water to dissolve the caramel.) Store any leftovers covered in plastic wrap at room temperature.

Provided by Diamond Crystal Salt

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Diamond Crystal® Salt

Time 3h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons active dry yeast
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup water at room temperature
1 cup milk at room temperature
¼ cup butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt
½ cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt, or to taste
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 ⅓ cups chopped pecans
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Combine yeast, sugar, water and milk in a large bowl. Let sit until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix in butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir in flour and Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt and mix until dough comes together; you may need additional flour. Knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl; cover with a cloth and set in a warm place to rise until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Spray two 9-inch cake pans liberally with cooking spray.
  • For the caramel sauce, combine 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup dark brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar dissolves in the butter. Stir in the heavy cream and Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt; mix well but do not bring to a boil. Sauce will be thick. Divide sauce equally into cake pans. Sprinkle equal amounts of pecans on top of caramel sauce.
  • Divide dough into two equal portions and roll out each section into a rectangle approximately 14x6 inches.
  • For the filling, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Brush melted butter evenly on each rectangle and sprinkle with brown sugar cinnamon mix. Starting with the longer side roll up each rectangle. Cut each roll into 9 equal portions. Place rolls into prepared cake pans and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake until browned and baked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Immediately (and carefully as sauce will be very hot) invert onto a plate. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, fresh eggs, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Make sure your yeast is active before using it. If you're not sure, you can test it by adding a teaspoon of sugar to a cup of warm water and then adding the yeast. If the yeast is active, it will start to bubble within a few minutes.
  • Don't over-proof the dough. If the dough is over-proofed, it will be difficult to work with and the buns will be too dense.
  • Be generous with the bacon caramel. The bacon caramel is what makes these buns so special, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it.
  • Cook the buns until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious caramelized flavor.

Conclusion:

Pecan Sticky Buns with Bacon Caramel are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their gooey caramel filling, crunchy pecans, and salty bacon, these buns are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
