Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup pecans (chopped)
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Stir in melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until well mixed. Gradually add flour to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled.
- Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped pecans, and melted butter in another bowl.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle (½ inch thick). Spread the filling evenly over the dough and roll tightly into a log.
- Cut into 12 equal pieces and place cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Cover again and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, heat maple syrup with additional pecans until bubbly; drizzle over warm buns after baking.
