Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns

These are made in about 3 hours with the help of a bread machine. So yummy!

Take a batch of these to work and watch them disappear!

4 cups Flour

1/2 cup butter

1 package yeast

1/4 cup milk

1 egg,

1 small can pineapple juice (6 oz)

1 tsp salt

.......................................................................

You will also need Non-stick cooking spray

.................................................

1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 cup white granulated sugar

1-1/2 cups chopped pecans

.....................................................

For the Caramel:

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup 1/2 & 1/2 or heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla


You will also need a bread machine if you don't want to do the kneading.

Place ingredients in the bread machine:

1 egg

1/4 cup milk or half & half

1/2 cup butter

1 can (6 oz) pineapple juice

4 cups flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 package yeast

1 tsp salt

...................................................

select the dough setting and turn machine on.

Allow dough to mix and rise.

While the dough is rising, make the caramel:

In a mixing bowl combine the 1/2 & 1/2 with the brown sugar. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and stir well until the sugar is dissolved.

Place caramel in greased baking pans.

Using a rolling pin, roll out dough onto a floured surface, to 1/4" thick. Spread butter or margarine and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Sprinkle the pecans over the top.

Roll up the dough and cut with dental floss. (Not mint flavored, I learned this the hard way...)

Working with a 12" piece of dental floss, slip it under the roll of dough about 1" from the end and wrap around the top, pulling tight.

This will cut a piece off the end. Continue until all the dough is cut.

Place rolls in a 9 x 13" baking pan or 2 smaller pans.

Allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes before baking.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until done.

Remove from oven and invert onto a plate or tray. Allow to sit for 30 seconds and remove pan.

Enjoy!
