EASY STICKY BUNS

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 buns

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup pecans, chopped in very large pieces
1 package (17.3-ounces/ 2-sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a 12-cup standard muffin tin on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 12 tablespoons butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Place 1 rounded tablespoon of the mixture in each of the 12 muffin cups. Distribute the pecans evenly among the 12 muffin cups on top of the butter and sugar mixture.
  • Lightly flour a wooden board or stone surface. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry with the folds going left to right. Brush the whole sheet with the melted butter. Leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry, sprinkle each sheet with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of the raisins. Starting with the end nearest you, roll the pastry up snugly like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam side down. Trim the ends of the roll about 1/2-inch and discard. Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place each piece, spiral side up, in 6 of the muffin cups. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry to make 12 sticky buns.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the sticky buns are golden to dark brown on top and firm to the touch. Be careful - they're hot! Allow to cool for 5 minutes only, invert the buns onto the parchment paper (ease the filling and pecans out onto the buns with a spoon) and cool completely.

MOLASSES STICKY BUNS (KAF)



Molasses Sticky Buns (Kaf) image

A yummy sticky bun with a sour cream sweet roll dough, to compliment the sweetness from the molasses. If you like molasses, or just want to try something a little different and evoke the Cracker Jack scent of our youth, these are a lot of fun. The topping becomes almost taffy-like when the rolls cool down, so these are definitely best served warm. You an always reheat them at medium power in the microwave for 30 seconds if need be. Found this on the King Arthur Flour Website -- posted for safekeeping. WW points = 12 per bun

Categories     Breads

Time 3h

Yield 12 sticky buns, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup water, lukewarm
4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, soft
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup pecans, diced (optional)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, soft
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins or 3/4 cup dried apple

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine all of the dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl. If you're using active dry yeast, combine it with the water and let it soften for 5 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients. Mix and combine until you have a soft, smooth dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Scrape out the mixing bowl, grease it, and return the dough to the bowl. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour. You can also combine all of the dough ingredients in the pan of your bread machine; let it run through the dough cycle.
  • Prepare the pan and topping: While the dough is rising, grease a 9 x 13-inch pan. Combine the topping ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat, and stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the topping into the prepared pan. If using nuts, sprinkle them over the topping mixture.
  • To shape: After the dough's first rise, roll the dough into a 19 x 9-inch rectangle. Spread with the soft butter from the Filling ingredients. Sprinkle the dough with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up like a jellyroll from the long side, and pinch the seam together. Cut the dough into 12 slices with a knife or some unflavored dental floss. Place the slices in rows, cut side down, on top of the topping. Cover the pan with greased plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes.
  • To bake: Once the rolls are puffy-looking, preheat the oven to 350°F Bake for 30 Minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of one of the rolls reads 190°F Remove from the oven and flip the buns over onto a serving tray or parchment-lined baking sheet. Let the pan sit on top of the hot buns for a few minute so the topping can drip down, before removing it. Serve the buns warm, if at all possible.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter: This will make it easier to incorporate into the dough and will result in a more tender bun.
  • Proof the yeast: This is an important step that helps to ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a good rise in the dough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to rise properly and will result in a light and fluffy bun.
  • Grease the baking dish: This will help to prevent the buns from sticking to the pan and will make them easier to remove.
  • Bake the buns until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and will have a nice caramelized flavor.

Conclusion:

Molasses sticky buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your sticky buns turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give these molasses sticky buns a try!
