cinnamon sticky buns I copied this recipe directly out of Simply Recipes a very good food blog. dough: ¼ cup warm water (105° to 115°) 1 (¼-ounce) package active dry yeast ¹/₃ cup sugar ¾ cup milk 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing 3 large egg yolks 1 Tbsp. finely grated orange zest 1¼ teaspoon. salt 4 to 4¼cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting Filling: 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter Topping: ¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon light corn syrup 1½ cups (6 ounces) coarsely chopped pecans   • Make the dough. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine warm water, yeast and 1 tsp. sugar. Stir to dissolve and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Here's a good photo and description of what the yeast should look like after several minutes. • Add milk, butter, remaining sugar, egg yolks, orange zest, salt and 3 cups flour. Mix on low speed until blended. Switch to a dough hook and then, again on low speed, slowly incorporate the remaining 1 cup of flour. Increase speed to medium, kneading dough until smooth and slightly sticky (adding a little more flour if too wet), 3 to 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large, buttered bowl. Turn dough over in bowl to coat with the butter from the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour (or 2 hours if not in an entirely warm place). After the dough has risen, punch down. Turn out onto a lightly floured cutting board and let sit 20 minutes. • Make the filling. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt butter; keep separate. • Roll dough out into a 12" x 18" rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon- sugar mixture. Starting with the long side, roll dough into a cylinder. Place seam side down on a flat surface and cut crosswise into 15 slices. • Make the topping. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, honey and corn syrup over low heat; stir until sugar and butter are melted. Pour mixture into a greased 9" x 13" pan and sprinkle pecans on top. • Place dough slices, flat side down, on top of prepared topping. Crowd them so they touch. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving room for the buns to rise, and refrigerate overnight. • Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature while the oven pre- heats. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake buns until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove pan from oven and immediately (and carefully as not to spill hot topping on your toes!) invert onto a serving tray or baking dish. Let buns cool slightly and serve warm. back
