Overnight Pecan Sticky Buns Recipes

PECAN STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup of the butter or margarine, 1/2 cup of the sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend 30 seconds with mixer on low speed, scraping sides and bottom of bowl. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in remaining 3 cups flour. (Dough should remain soft and slightly sticky) Knead for 5 minutes, or about 200 turns on a lightly floured board. Cover dough and allow to rest for half an hour.
• Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 12x7 inch rectangle. Spread each half with 1 tablespoon soft butter and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of the ground cinnamon. Roll up the halves, beginning at the wide side. Seal well by pinching the seams. Cut each roll into 12 slices.
• Coat two 9 inch round cake pans with 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans in each pan. Place 12 dough slices in each pan, leaving a small space between slices. Let rise until doubled.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes. Invert pans onto serving plates immediately.

Steps:

• DOUGH: In a bowl attached to an electric stand mixer, mix eggs and buttermilk to combine. Whisk in granulated sugar, yeast and 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt. Mix in 2 cups (250 grams) of flour and 6 tablespoons (85 grams) of melted butter until just combined.
• Attach dough hook to the stand mixer and mix in 2 cups (250 grams) of flour. Knead for 5 minutes. The dough should feel soft and moist but not sticky. If needed, add more flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time. Continue to knead for 5 minutes. Dough should clear the sides of the bowl and not stick to the bottom.
• Lightly flour a clean and dry surface. Knead dough by hand for 1 minute. Dough should not stick the counter. If dough is sticky, knead in 1 tablespoon (8 grams) of flour.
• FIRST PROOF: Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Transfer dough to the bowl and invert dough so that the bottom of the dough which touched the greased bowl is now facing up. Loosely cover the bowl and keep in a warm and draft free area until doubled in size, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• GLAZE: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk 6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter, 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar, 3 tablespoons (45 ml) corn syrup, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) heavy cream and a pinch of salt until butter is melted and mixture is thoroughly combined.
• Pour glaze into a 13×9 inch baking pan. Spread glaze to ensure every area is covered.
• FILLING: In a small bowl, whisk 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves and a pinch of salt together. Make sure to break up any lumps of sugar.
• Once dough has doubled in size, lightly flour a clean and dry surface and gently roll out dough into a 16×12 inch rectangle.
• Brush dough with 1 tablespoon (14 grams) melted butter leaving 1/2 inch border along the top edge. With the remaining melted butter, brush the sides of the 13×9 inch baking pan; set aside.
• Evenly sprinkle cinnamon-filling mixture over the dough leaving 3/4 inch border along the top edge. Gently press filling mixture into the dough to adhere.
• ROLLING THE DOUGH: Starting on the long side opposite of the border free from butter and cinnamon, roll dough, pressing lightly to form a tight cylinder. Firmly pinch seam to seal.
• Using a serrated knife, in a gentle sawing motion, slice the roll in half. Cut each half again in half to create 4 equal quarters. Slice each quarter into thirds to create 12 buns. Note: the end pieces may be smaller than the rest.
• Arrange buns cut side down onto the glaze in the baking pan. Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.
• SECOND PROOF: In a roasting pan or kitchen sink, fill with warm water. Place baking pan in the warm water bath for 20 minutes. Remove from water bath and allow buns to rest and rise at room temperature for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until buns have puffed and are pressed together.
• About 20 minutes before baking, place a baking stone on an oven rack adjusted to the lowest position for a more even browning of the buns. Heat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Place baking pan above baking stone. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes rotating pan halfway through baking.
• Allow baking pan with buns inside to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting pan onto a large platter or cutting board. Scrape any excess glaze from the pan onto the buns and allow to cool while preparing the topping.
• TOPPING: In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar, 3 tablespoons (42 grams) butter, 3 tablespoons (45 ml) corn syrup and a pinch. Bring to a simmer whisking occasionally to combine. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla and pecans until pecans are evenly coated. Spoon heapful of pecan glaze over each bun. Pull the buns apart or cut with a serrated knife and ENJOY while warm!

BEST-EVER OVERNIGHT PECAN STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Make the buns: In the bowl of a large stand mixer, fitted with a dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let stand 5 minutes until foamy. Mix in agave, oil, eggs, salt, and 4 cups flour on medium speed until dough pulls away from sides of bowl into a ball. (if dough seems too sticky, add additional flour by the tablespoon until it comes together)
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Make the topping: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in sugar, and agave. Bring caramel to a simmer, stirring occasionally until caramel begins to thicken and turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and toasted pecans. Immediately spread into the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan. Set aside.
• Assemble the buns: Punch risen dough down. On a floured surface, roll into a 12x18 rectangle. Spread butter to within 1/2-in of edges and sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over butter, patting flat. Roll up tightly along the long side and pinch edges to seal. Cut into 1/2 to 1-in rolls and place swirl-side up over pecan-caramel sauce in pan. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. NOTE: if baking immediately, let buns rise 30 minutes at room temperature then bake as directed.
• The next morning, remove sticky buns from refrigerator and remove plastic wrap. Bake at 375F 20-25 minutes or until golden-brown and caramel is bubbly. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving tray. (if any pecans and caramel stick to pan, scrape off with a spatula and drizzle over buns) Enjoy sticky buns warm!

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the milk and sugar. Heat until lukewarm, about 110F, stirring so that sugar dissolves. Transfer the warm milk mixture to a bowl. Stir in the yeast. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast, then stir in the salt.
• Beat the whole egg and egg yolk together until combined, then stir into the yeast mixture. Stir in the flour 1 cup at a time until the dough comes together and is still a bit sticky. Scrape onto a floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth. Grease a large bowl and transfer the dough into it. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until tripled in size.
• Melt the butter with the brown sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to combine. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with melted butter. Pour the sugar mixture into the greased pan, spreading it over the pan in an even layer. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans.
• Punch down the dough and turn it onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for a minute, then roll into a 15x12-inch rectangle.
• Melt the 4 tbsp of butter for the cinnamon-sugar filling and then brush it over the dough. In a small bowl, whisk together the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle over the buttered dough. Roll the rectangle up, jelly roll-style, along a long edge.
• Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange them cut side up, over the pecans in the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• The following morning, remove the pan from the fridge and allow it to warm for 1 hour. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350F. Put the pan with the sticky buns in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 35-40 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool for 5-10 minutes. Invert the pan onto a large serving plate or baking pan. Serve warm.

PECAN STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Heat the milk in the microwave in a small bowl for 1 minute 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and add slices of butter. Stir until butter has melted. If butter doesn't completely melt, heat for an additional 10 seconds in the microwave. Pour the warm milk and butter mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface and let it sit for about 5 to 7 minutes or until you see bubbles on the surface which indicates that the yeast has been activated.
• Using the paddle attachment, add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the sugar and salt and continue mixing to combine.
• Remove the paddle attachment and switch to the dough hook. Add 3 cups of flour and mix until the flour is completely incorporated. Add additional flour in ½ cup increments, mixing in between, until you've added a total of 4 cups. Continue mixing and add very small amounts of flour (⅛-cup to ¼-cup increments) until the dough has come together and is mostly holding on to the hook (some will still be at the bottom of the mixing bowl). You may not need the entire amount (I usually need about 4 ½ to 4 ¾ cup total). Continue mixing to knead the dough for about 5 or 6 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be very sticky.
• Coat a large mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray, lightly flour your hands and scrape the dough from the mixing bowl and into the prepared bowl. Form it into a ball with your hands and turn it over to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen cloth and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 to 2 hours.
• Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll into a 14- x 18-inch rectangle. Pour the melted butter over the surface of the dough and use a pastry brush to coat the entire surface evenly.
• In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the melted butter.
• Roll up the dough, lengthwise, into a log, forming and shaping the dough with your hands to make it as even as possible. (Check length again after rolling and compress with your hands, if necessary, so it's 18-inches long). Trim and discard the uneven ends of the roll and then slice it in half. Then, slice each half into 6 equal size pieces for a total of 12 buns.
• Coat a 13- x 9-inch metal, glass or ceramic baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Scatter the pecans evenly over the bottom of the pan. Be sure they are packed down evenly so the tops of the buns will all be coated with nuts.
• Melt the butter with the brown sugar, honey, and salt in a small saucepan over LOW heat. When the butter has melted, simmer the mixture, stirring constantly, for 1 minute,until it comes together into a thin caramel mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture evenly over the pecans.
• Place the buns over the caramel pecan mixture (3-across width of pan/4-down length of pan). Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• The next morning, take the baking pan out of the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap, and let it stand at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 22 to 30 minutes or until golden brown (buns will cook more quickly in a metal pan than in a glass pan). Place a piece of foil lightly over the top of the baking pan for the last 5 to 10 minutes of the baking time if needed, to prevent over-browning but to allow the buns to bake through to the center.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let the sticky buns cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
• Using oven mitts, carefully invert the pan onto a large serving platter or baking sheet (see tips below). Allow the pan to stay upside down over the rolls without lifting it for a few minutes and the warm topping will melt down the sides. Remove the pan. Serve warm.

OVERNIGHT BANANA STICKY BUNS WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Make the dough:.
• In a medium bowl, combine 4-1/2 oz. (1 cup) of the flour with the yeast. Stir in the warm milk or water until combined. Cover the bowl and let sit in a warm spot in the kitchen for 30 minutes. Stir the banana, melted butter, sugar, egg, and salt into the yeast mixture until well combined. Stir in all but 1 oz. (1/4 cup) of the remaining flour to make a stiff, shaggy dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
• Knead, folding the dough over onto itself. If the dough sticks, use a dough scraper to pick up the sticky bits and sprinkle a small amount of the remaining flour onto the surface. Continue to knead until the dough becomes smooth and easy to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Put the dough in a lightly buttered medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Fill the rolls:.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a rectangle. Roll out into a 16 x 11-inch rectangle. With an offset spatula, spread the softened butter evenly over the dough to within 1/8 inch of the edge. Combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle the mixture evenly over the butter.
• Roll up the dough lengthwise, starting from a long edge, and pinch the seam to seal. Turn the log so that it's seam side down. Trim off and discard 1/2 inch from each end; then cut the log into twelve 1-1/4-inch pieces. Cover with plastic wrap.
• Make the caramel-pecan sauce:.
• Generously butter a 12-cup standard muffin pan.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and 1/4 cup warm water and stir until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Bring the syrup to a boil and cook, without stirring, until it begins to caramelize. Gently swirl the pan to help the syrup brown evenly. Once the syrup has turned an amber color, remove the pan from the heat and carefully stir in the banana and cold butter. Stir in the heavy cream, returning the pan to low heat if the mixture doesn't smooth out immediately. Add the vanilla and salt and stir until smooth. Strain the sauce, discarding the banana. Let the caramel cool until just warm, about 15 minutes. Drizzle about 1-1/2 Tbs. of caramel into each muffin cup, reserving the extra sauce at room temperature. Sprinkle the pecans evenly among the cups.
• Place the dough slices over the sauce and nuts, cut sides down. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Bake the sticky buns:.
• Remove the pan from the refrigerator and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
• Position racks in the center and lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F Put the muffin pan on the center rack and set a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below to catch any overflowing syrup. Bake until the tops and edges of the buns are browned, 20 to 22 minutes.
• Immediately invert the pan onto a rimmed baking sheet, replace any pecans that fell off, and let cool for 10 minutes. Reheat the reserved caramel sauce and serve the buns drizzled with the sauce.
