Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, eggs, vanilla, sugar, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add remaining flour until dough is soft but not sticky. Knead on floured surface for 6-8 minutes.
  4. Place dough in greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled.

  6. For the filling, mix brown sugar, maple syrup, softened butter, and cinnamon until combined.
  7. Roll dough into a 15×9 inch rectangle. Spread filling evenly over dough and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
  8. Roll dough tightly from the long edge and cut into 12 equal slices. Arrange slices in prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let buns cool for 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, drizzle with extra maple syrup or cream cheese glaze.
