Cinnamon Sticky Buns

Nothing says love like surprising someone special with late night cinnamon sticky buns. These amazing buns are warm, soft, and gooey and will melt in your mouth. Plus, your entire house will smell incredible. I suggest drizzling some of the extra pecan syrup from the bottom of the pie dish on to each bun upon serving. They go great with an ice-cold glass of milk or even a hot cup of coffee. You won’t be able to eat just one.

Instructions

1. Using upright mixer, combine yeast and warm milk.
2. Let stand for about five minutes.
3. Gradually add all dough ingredients with mixer on low speed and using dough hook attachment.
4. Add flour until dough is elastic and slightly sticky.
5. Place in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
6. Set in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
7. While dough is rising, combine sugar and cinnamon for filling in a bowl.
8. Set softened butter aside for later.
9. In a glass or ceramic pie dish, pour melted butter so that it covers the entire bottom of the dish.
10. Sprinkle brown sugar and pecans over the melted butter.
11. Once the dough has risen, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
12. Roll dough out onto a floured surface.
13. As best as possible, roll out into rectangular shape about ½ inch thick.
14. Spread softened butter over the dough and liberally cover the butter with the sugar-cinnamon mixture until the entire piece of dough is covered.
15. Roll the dough starting from the long side closest to you until the dough is in the shape of a log.
16. Using a sharp knife, cut 1 inch slices of the dough log and gently place into the syrup in the pie dish.
17. Once each slice is placed snuggly in the dish, place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until buns are golden brown and syrup and filling are oozing out of each bun.
