Butter Pecan Sticky Buns with Bread Machine Dough

Butter Pecan Sticky Buns with Bread Machine Dough are filled with cinnamon and butter and are topped with a sweet pecan glaze. Two things are unique about these buns. First of all, the dough is made in the bread machine. And, secondly, these sticky buns are topped with a pecan glaze, instead of baking in a gooey sauce, and therefore, have less sugar than other sticky buns.

The Equipment You’ll Need

A Bread Machine- You will need this to knead and rise your dough.
A 13×9 Non-stick metal Baking Dish- This is for baking your rolls.
A Food Scale- Weighing your flour is a must for accurate baking.

The Ingredients You’ll Need for Butter Pecan Sticky Buns with Bread Machine Dough

Unsalted Butter- This recipe calls for lots of butter, some softened and some melted.
Brown Sugar- You must pack it into the cup, for accurate measuring. You may use either dark or light brown sugar, or a mixture.
Bread Flour- This recipe calls for bread flour, not all purpose flour.
Active Dry Yeast- Use active dry yeast, not quick rising yeast.
Light corn syrup- You could use dark as well.
Pecans- I like to keep them in the freezer so they stay fresh.

How I Made my Buns

First, I weighed my flour and sugar, and put all the dough ingredients into the bread machine.
Next, I rolled out my dough, and found out I’d added the incorrect amount of flour. So, it was messy, but I kneaded in more flour, and everything turned out fine.
Then, I put on the filling and rolled up the dough.
Next, I added the buns to the greased pan and set them aside to rise.
Finally, I baked the buns, made the glaze and toasted the pecans, and poured the glaze on the baked buns.

My family could hardly wait for me to take a picture of these Butter Pecan Sticky Buns with Bread Machine Dough, before attacking them. Needless to say, everyone loved my buns.

Ingredients

6 tbsp. butter, sliced
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp. salt
½ cup white sugar (100g)
4 cups bread flour (480 g)
2½ tsp. active dry yeast
4 tbsp. melted butter
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1½ cup chopped pecans
6 tbsp. butter
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
¼ cup heavy cream
½ tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions

In a bread machine, add the following ingredients in the order suggested by your manufacturer: 6 tablespoons of sliced butter, flour, eggs, milk, salt, sugar, and yeast. Process on the dough cycle.
When the dough cycle is done, roll the dough into a 20 by 12 rectangle. Paint the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle on the cinnamon and 2/3 cup packed brown sugar. Roll up the twenty inch side, and then cut it into 12 equal slices. Place them in a greased (with butter) non-stick metal 13 by 9 baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Toast the pecans in a skillet on medium heat, until they're slightly toasted.
Bake the buns for twenty minutes. Make the glaze by melting together the six tablespoons of butter, the ⅔ cup packed brown sugar, the cream, and the corn syrup. Then add the pecans and vanilla and set the pot aside.
Remove the buns from the pan immediately, and pour the warm glaze over the buns.
