Sticky Buns

"This recipe came with my Baker's Catalogue sticky bun pan -- the buns have a thick cinnamon filling and are topped with a rich, sticky sauce sprinkled with lots of pecans. I make them on the eve of special holidays and refrigerate them overnight then bake them first thing in the morning."

directions

  • In a large mixing blow or electric mixer, combine all of the dough ingredients, mixing to form a shaggy dough.
  • Knead the dough, by hand or by machine, for 10 minutes.
  • Allow it to rest for 10 minutes, then knead for an additional 10 minutes, until it's smooth and supple (though still somewhat sticky).
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and allow it to rest for 1 1/2 hours; it'll become quite puffy although it may not double in bulk.
  • While the dough is rising, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the syrup, the rum if you're using it, and the melted butter. Pour into a lightly greased 9x13" pan.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar and pecans on top of the glaze; set aside.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled or floured work surface and roll it into a 16x12" rectangle.
  • Spread dough with the 2 tablespoons of softened butter and the cinnamon-sugar mix.
  • Starting with a long edge, roll the dough into a 16" log.
  • Slice the log into 16 one-inch pieces.
  • Place the buns in the prepared pan, cover the pan, and allow the buns to rise till doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • OR chill them overnight and cook them the next morning -- take them out of the fridge while your oven is preheating.
  • Bake the sticky buns in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, tenting them with aluminum foil for the final 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
  • Remove the buns from the oven and invert them onto a cooling rack, scraping any of the sticky topping that has remained in the pan onto the buns.
