Introduction: Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns
These are made in about 3 hours with the help of a bread machine. So yummy!
Take a batch of these to work and watch them disappear!
Step 1: Ingredients
4 cups Flour
1/2 cup butter
1 package yeast
1/4 cup milk
1 egg,
1 small can pineapple juice (6 oz)
1 tsp salt
.......................................................................
You will also need Non-stick cooking spray
.................................................
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans
.....................................................
For the Caramel:
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup 1/2 & 1/2 or heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
You will also need a bread machine if you don't want to do the kneading.
Step 2: Place Ingredients in the Bread Machine
Place ingredients in the bread machine:
1 egg
1/4 cup milk or half & half
1/2 cup butter
1 can (6 oz) pineapple juice
4 cups flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 package yeast
1 tsp salt
...................................................
select the dough setting and turn machine on.
Allow dough to mix and rise.
Step 3: Caramel
While the dough is rising, make the caramel:
In a mixing bowl combine the 1/2 & 1/2 with the brown sugar. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
Place caramel in greased baking pans.
Step 4: Roll Out Bread Dough
Using a rolling pin, roll out dough onto a floured surface, to 1/4" thick. Spread butter or margarine and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Sprinkle the pecans over the top.
Step 5: Roll Up Dough
Roll up the dough and cut with dental floss. (Not mint flavored, I learned this the hard way...)
Working with a 12" piece of dental floss, slip it under the roll of dough about 1" from the end and wrap around the top, pulling tight.
This will cut a piece off the end. Continue until all the dough is cut.
Place rolls in a 9 x 13" baking pan or 2 smaller pans.
Allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes before baking.
Step 6: Bake
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until done.
Remove from oven and invert onto a plate or tray. Allow to sit for 30 seconds and remove pan.
Enjoy!
