MAKE-AHEAD STICKY BUNS



Make-Ahead Sticky Buns image

This recipe came from a website but it's been so long I can't remember exactly which one. I love this recipe because it yields a light, flaky sticky bun that is not overly sweet. It's relatively easy to prepare; prep time includes refrigeration/rising time. This recipe has a big yield, but can be halved without problems.

Yield Makes 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Topping:
1 3/4 cups chopped pecans (about 8 ounces)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest (optional)
Buns:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Master Sweet Dough, chilled for 2 hours
All-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 large egg
Coarse sea salt (such as Maldon)
Special Equipment
An 8x8x2" metal baking pan

Steps:

  • For topping:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread out nuts on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast until fragrant and slightly darkened, 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely. Set 1 1/4 cups nuts aside for buns.
  • Melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, cream, honey, salt, and orange zest, if using. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until glaze is golden brown and glossy, 3-4 minutes. Pour 1 cup of glaze into baking pan, tilting to coat bottom and sides. Set aside remaining glaze. Sprinkle 1/2 cup toasted pecans over bottom of baking pan and let cool.
  • For buns:
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Set filling aside.
  • Punch down dough; transfer to a floured work surface. Lightly dust top with flour. Follow instructions in Cooks' Notes, for assembling buns with filling and 3/4 cup pecans. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill buns and remaining glaze separately. Store remaining pecans airtight at room temperature.
  • Loosely cover pan with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Let buns rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour, or 1 1/2-2 hours if dough has been chilled overnight.
  • Arrange a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Whisk egg with 1/2 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush tops of buns with egg wash. Bake, rotating pan halfway through and tenting with foil if browning too quickly, until buns are golden brown, filling is bubbling, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of buns registers 185°F, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon remaining glaze over. Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecans over. Let cool in pan on a wire rack.
  • Lightly sprinkle sea salt over. Serve buns warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Making Perfect Sticky Buns:

  • Activate the yeast properly. Using warm milk or water (110-115°F) and allowing the yeast to bloom for 5-10 minutes before adding it to the dough ensures that the yeast is active and will properly leaven the dough.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly. Kneading the dough for at least 5-7 minutes helps develop the gluten, which gives the sticky buns their characteristic chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F. This allows the yeast to work and the dough to double in size.
  • Roll the dough out evenly. Rolling the dough out to an even thickness ensures that the sticky buns bake evenly.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Spreading the filling evenly prevents any one bun from being overly sweet or lacking in flavor.
  • Cut the dough into even pieces. Cutting the dough into even pieces ensures that all the sticky buns are the same size and bake evenly.
  • Bake the sticky buns at a high temperature. Baking the sticky buns at a high temperature (375°F or higher) creates a crispy crust and a gooey center.
  • Baste the sticky buns with butter while baking. Basting the sticky buns with butter while baking helps them stay moist and adds a golden brown color.
  • Let the sticky buns cool slightly before serving. Allowing the sticky buns to cool slightly before serving helps them hold their shape and prevents the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

Sticky buns are a delicious and indulgent treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. By following these tips, you can easily make perfect sticky buns at home. With a little planning and effort, you can impress your friends and family with this classic pastry.
