Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Active dry yeast
  • Milk
  • Granulated sugar
  • Unsalted butter
  • Eggs
  • Salt
  • Brown sugar
  • Light corn syrup
  • Heavy cream
  • Vanilla extract
  • Pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar.
  2. Mix the flour, remaining sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add the softened butter, eggs, and activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.
  4. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.
  6. While the dough rises, prepare the caramel filling by melting butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Toast the pecans lightly.
  9. Roll out the dough into a rectangle.
  10. Spread a thin layer of softened butter over the dough.
  11. Sprinkle generously with brown sugar.
  12. Roll the dough tightly into a log.
  13. Cut the log into individual buns.
  14. Pour half of the caramel mixture into the bottom of a baking pan.
  15. Arrange the pecan halves over the caramel layer.
  16. Place the cut buns snugly on top of the pecans.
  17. Cover the pan and let the buns have a second rise.
  18. Preheat your oven to the specified temperature.
  19. Bake the buns until golden brown.
  20. Immediately invert the hot pan onto a serving platter after removing it from the oven.
  21. Let the buns rest briefly before lifting the pan to reveal the sticky caramel topping.

Notes

  • Ensure your milk is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
  • Do not over-knead the dough; stop when it is smooth.
  • Toasting the pecans intensifies their flavor.
  • Working quickly when inverting the pan is key to getting good topping coverage.
