KILLER PECAN STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Prepare half the recipe for Granny Foster's Refrigerator Rolls dough through step 5.
• Butter a 9-inch round glass baking dish with 2 tablespoons butter; set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine raisins and bourbon, and let soak until plumped, about 20 minutes.
• In a second small bowl, combine cinnamon, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and remaining 6 tablespoons butter; set aside.
• In a third small bowl, combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, honey, and pecans. Spread mixture evenly in prepared baking dish; set aside.
• Roll dough into a 12-by-6-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Drain raisins, and sprinkle over cinnamon mixture. Beginning at the long side of the dough, roll it into a log. Place the log, seam-side down, on a clean work surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the log crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Transfer slices, cut-sides down, to prepared baking dish (the slices should fit snugly). Set aside in a warm place, and allow to rise until slightly puffy, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place baking dish on a baking sheet with sides and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean and buns are golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Let cool for 5 minutes. While still warm, place a plate over baking dish. Invert baking dish to unmold. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FANTASTIC PECAN STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• PREP PAN: Take a 9" square baking pan and encase it entirely with heavy duty or quick-release aluminum foil (to make cleanup easy). Grease only the sides of the inside of the pan with non-stick cooking spray or use butter. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (to catch overflow).
• Stir the yeast, water, and sugar, in a small bowl. Allow it to stand for about 5-8 minutes to dissolve the yeast.
• Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl or stand mixer. Add the yeast mixture and stir to moisten the flour, scraping the sides of the bowl and folding the dough over itself until it gathers into a shaggy mass.
• Move the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it by hand for 5 minutes. Gently shape the dough into a loose ball, cover it with plastic, and let it rest on the table for 20 minutes. NOTE: This is a soft, moist dough. If the dough seems too stiff and hard to knead, add extra warm water 1 tablespoon at a time until you get a nice malleable dough.
• Gently knead the dough on the lightly floured surface for 1-2 more minutes, or until it becomes smooth, supple, and elastic but not too firm (The texture of the dough should be soft but springy). Shape the dough into a loose ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and turn to coat the top with oil. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (until doubled).
• Meanwhile make the caramel: in a small saucepan, melt the butter and then add the dark brown sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sugar is completely moistened (it won't be dissolved). Whisk until the mixture looks silky and a little lighter in color.
• Pour the caramel into the square pan, tilting the pan slightly so the mixture spreads evenly over the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
• When the dough has doubled, gently pour it onto the floured work surface. Roll dough out to form a 9x9" square.
• Spray dough evenly with non-stick cooking spray, leaving a 1/2-inch strip unsprayed along the top edge. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar generously and evenly, then sprinkle with chopped pecans, again leaving the top 1/2-inch of the rectangle bare.
• Starting with the bottom edge, roll up the dough jelly-roll fashion into log. (If the dough sticks to the table as you're rolling, use a dough scraper to loosen it gently). Pinch gently but firmly along the seam to seal.
• Cut the log of dough into 4 equal pieces. Lay the pieces cut side down on top of the caramel. Don't worry if it's a tight fit. Let rise, uncovered, at room temperature for 1 hour or until the dough has almost doubled, (The rolls should fill the pan and extend 1/2 to 3/4-inch above it).
• Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the tops of the buns are golden brown and crusty (It's important to bake the buns long enough so the dough is cooked all the way through and the caramel topping develops properly).
• Set the pan of buns on a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Then quickly but carefully transfer the buns onto a heatproof plate. Immediately drizzle any remaining caramel from the bottom of the pan and spread it on the tops of the buns, filling in any bare spots (or drizzle with honey). Let the buns cool until just warm before serving.

MAPLE-PECAN STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine the yeast, buttermilk and 1 tablespoon sugar, and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add the flour, salt and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir to combine, then add the butter and toss to coat in the flour. Add the eggs and buttermilk mixture, then mix on low to combine, about 1 or 2 minutes.
• Increase speed to medium, and mix the dough until it is soft, billowy and clearing the sides of the bowl, but still sticking to the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes. If the dough seems very, very soft and still sticks to the sides of the bowl, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time (up to about 4 tablespoons).
• Lightly grease a separate large bowl with butter and transfer the dough to it. Turn the dough to coat with butter, then cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm spot until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour, then refrigerate the dough for 1 hour more. (Alternately, refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours after the first rise, then proceed with the recipe as written.)
• When you are ready to bake the rolls, make the topping: In a medium saucepan (to prevent boiling over), combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over medium and cook for 1 minute. The mixture will thicken slightly. Pour the mixture into a metal 9-by-13-inch baking pan and tilt the pan to evenly cover the bottom with the syrup. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top, and set aside.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and salt.
• Assemble the rolls: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat or roll it into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle that's 1/4-inch thick. Gently spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of unbuttered dough on the long edge furthest from you. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the top of the butter. From the long end closest to you, roll the dough into a tight log. With the seam side down, use a serrated knife or length of floss to cut the log into 12 even pieces.
• Place the rolls spiral side up into the prepared pan, cover and let rise until puffy but not quite doubled in size, about 45 minutes. (This may take a little longer if you refrigerated the dough for longer than 1 hour after the first rise.) If you'd like to bake them later, you can refrigerate the rolls in the pan before this second rise for up to 24 hours. Let the rolls rise at room temperature until almost doubled in size before baking. They will take longer to rise after chilling, depending on the ambient temperature.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake rolls for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the caramel is bubbling a bit around the edges. Carefully run an offset spatula or thin knife around the edges of the pan. Let the rolls cool in the pan on a rack for about 5 minutes, then flip them out onto a serving tray or sheet pan. Let cool for a minute or two, then enjoy warm.
