Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Warm the milk until it is lukewarm (not hot). Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the milk. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Beat the eggs and mix them into the flour-sugar mixture.
- Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the bowl. Mix everything together until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface or use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the honey and brown sugar, and stir until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, and sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle measuring approximately 12x18 inches.
6. Form the Buns:
- Starting from one of the long edges, roll the dough tightly into a log.
- Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place each piece, cut side up, into the prepared baking dish on top of the sticky topping.
- Cover the baking dish with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let the buns rise again in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until they are puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the buns cool in the dish for about 5 minutes.
- Invert the dish onto a serving platter so the sticky pecan topping is on top.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh yeast for the best rise in your dough.
- Toast the pecans lightly before adding them to enhance their flavor and crunch.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for a better texture.
- Use a well-greased pan to prevent the buns from sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Let the buns cool slightly before serving to allow the sticky topping to set.
