Ingredients
DOUGH
12 SERVINGS
6 tbsp unsalted butter
softened
TOPPING
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
coarsely chopped
Directions
DOUGH
1
In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, instant yeast and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes until bubbly and foamy.
2
Add the remaining dough ingredients - all-purpose flour, salt, remaining granulated sugar, eggs, and softened butter - to the yeast mixture, and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, adding extra flour a tablespoon at a time if needed. The dough should be slightly sticky but feel smooth and elastic
4
Lightly grease a large bowl, place dough inside, and cover. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
TOPPING
5
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, light brown sugar, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla extract.
FILLING & ASSEMBLY
6
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon to create the filling.
7
Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and roll into an 18x12 inch rectangle.
8
Spread the filling over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border at the top long edge. Roll up the dough tightly into a log, and pinch to seal.
9
Using a serrated knife, cut the log into 12 equal rolls.
10
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish, and pour the topping evenly into the bottom. Sprinkle the coarsely chopped pecans over the topping.
11
Place rolls into the pan, spiral side up. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 45 minutes, until rolls are nearly doubled in size.
BAKING
12
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C), and bake rolls for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then invert buns onto a serving platter and spoon any remaining topping on top.
