Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk, lukewarm
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by combining lukewarm milk and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, cinnamon, and half of the flour. Mix well.
- Gradually incorporate remaining flour while kneading until smooth (about 10 minutes). Let rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Spread softened butter on top, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mix and chopped pecans; roll tightly.
- Cut into pieces about 2 inches thick and place them cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Let rise again until puffy (about 30 minutes).
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- For the glaze, whisk together brown sugar and maple syrup over low heat until bubbly; pour over warm buns.
