Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ tsp)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg; stir until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead the Dough: Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Make the Topping: In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, and butter over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with pecans.
  • Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll Out Dough: Roll dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread softened butter over dough and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Form the Buns: Roll up the dough tightly from the long side and cut into 12 equal slices. Place slices over the topping in the baking dish.
  • Second Rise: Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate to allow the topping to drizzle over the buns.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.
  • These buns are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
