Recipe Introduction


If these gloriously gooey cinnamon sticky buns don't get you out of bed, check your pulse. Just refrigerate the dough overnight and pop them into the oven.


List of Ingredients




NGREDIENTS
Dough:

* 1/4 cup warm water (105° to 115°)
* 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
* 1/3 cup sugar
* 3/4 cup milk
* 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
* 3 large egg yolks
* 1 Tbsp. finely grated orange zest
* 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
* 4 to 4 1/4 cups 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:

* 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
* 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
* 3 Tbsp. honey
* 1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
* 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) coarsely chopped pecans


To make 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. Add milk, butter, remaining sugar, egg yolks, orange zest, salt and 3 cups flour and mix on low speed until blended. Switch to a dough hook and then, again on low, slowly incorporate 1 cup remaining flour. Increase speed to medium, kneading dough until smooth and slightly sticky (adding last 1/4 cup flour if too wet), 3 to 5 minutes. Remove dough from mixing bowl, shape into a ball and place in a large, greased bowl. Turn to coat and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. After dough has risen, punch down. Turn out onto a lightly floured cutting board and let sit 20 minutes.

To make 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.

To make 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 and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 375°. Bake buns until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove pan from oven and immediately invert onto a serving tray or baking dish. Let buns cool slightly and serve warm.
