Molasses-Pecan Sticky Buns Recipe
  • Prep: 45 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.
  • Yield: 12 Servings
45 25 70

Ingredients

  • 3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) quick-rise yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • FILLING:
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup molasses

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Roll into a 14-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Spread butter to within 1/2 in. of edges; sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal. Cut into 12 rolls.
  • In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter. Stir in the brown sugar, pecans and molasses; pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place rolls, cut side down, in dish.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 15 minutes. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm. Yield: 12 servings.

I think I have a new favorite roll recipe. I made these today and they are wonderful. I used regular yeast and allowed the dough to raise about an hour and then the rolls 30 minutes. Thanks for a great recipe.

These were AWESOME and very easy - even using yeast! My brother makes sticky buns and he said they were easier than his recipe. YUMMY!

This were so easy to make. I usually fail miserably at making bread dough, but this time it turned out perfect. My husband said they were the best sticky buns he had ever had.
