Overnight Sticky Buns Recipes

Steps:

• For the dough:.
• In bowl of standing mixer, whisk eggs to combine; add buttermilk and whisk to combine.
• Whisk in sugar, salt, and yeast.
• Add about 2 cups flour and butter; stir with wooden spoon or rubber spatula until evenly moistened and combined.
• Add all but about 1/4 cup remaining flour and knead with dough hook at low speed 5 minutes. Check consistency of dough (dough should feel soft and moist but should not be wet and sticky; add more flour, if necessary); knead at low speed 5 minutes longer (dough should clear sides of bowl but stick to bottom).
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface; knead by hand about 1 minute to ensure that dough is uniform (dough should not stick to work surface during hand kneading; if it does stick, knead in additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time).
• Lightly spray large bowl or plastic container with nonstick cooking spray.
• Transfer dough to bowl, spray dough lightly with cooking spray, then cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set in warm, draftfree spot until doubled in volume, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• For the glaze:
• Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for glaze in small saucepan; cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is thoroughly combined.
• Pour mixture into nonstick metal 13- by 9-inch baking dish; using rubber spatula, spread mixture to cover surface of baking dish.
• Set baking dish aside.
• To assemble and bake buns:
• For filling, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined, using fingers to break up sugar lumps; set aside.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
• Gently shape dough into rough rectangle with long side nearest you.
• Lightly flour dough and roll to 16- by 12-inch rectangle.
• Brush dough with 1 tablespoon melted butter, leaving 1/2-inch border along top edge; with butter remaining on brush, brush sides of baking dish.
• Sprinkle filling mixture over dough, leaving 3/4-inch border along top edge; smooth filling in even layer with hand, then gently press mixture into dough to adhere.
• Beginning with long edge nearest you, roll dough into taut cylinder. Firmly pinch seam to seal and roll cylinder seam-side down.
• Very gently stretch to cylinder of even diameter and 18-inch length; push ends in to create even thickness.
• Using serrated knife and gentle sawing motion, slice cylinder in half, then slice each half in half again to create evenly sized quarters.
• Slice each quarter evenly into thirds, yielding 12 buns (end pieces may be slightly smaller).
• 5Arrange buns cut-side down in prepared baking dish; cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 10 to 14 hours.
• Place baking pan in warm-water bath (about 120 degrees) in kitchen sink or large roasting pan for 20 minutes.
• Remove from water bath and let stand at room temperature until buns look slightly puffy and are pressed against one another, about 1 1/2 hours.
• About an hour before baking, adjust oven rack to lowest position, place pizza stone on rack (if using), and heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place baking pan on pizza stone; bake until golden brown and center of dough registers about 180 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack 10 minutes; invert onto rimmed baking sheet, large rectangular platter, or cutting board. With rubber spatula, scrape any glaze remaining in baking pan onto buns; let cool while making pecan topping.
• For the topping:
• Combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in small saucepan and bring to simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally to thoroughly combine.
• Off heat, stir in vanilla and pecans until pecans are evenly coated. Using soup spoon, spoon heaping tablespoon nuts and topping over center of each sticky bun.
• Continue to cool until sticky buns are warm, 15 to 20 minutes. Pull apart or use serrated knife to cut apart sticky buns; serve.

Steps:

• Prepare Dough: In cup, combine warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar; stir to dissolve. Let stand 5 minutes, or until foamy.
• In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, blend yeast mixture with milk, butter, salt, egg yolks, 3 cups flour, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar until blended. With wooden spoon, stir in 3/4 cup flour.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic, working in about 1/4 cup more flour as necessary just to keep dough from sticking.
• Shape dough into ball; place in greased large bowl, turning dough over to grease top. Cover bowl and let dough rise in warm place (80 to 85 degrees F) about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare Filling: In small bowl, combine brown sugar, currants, and cinnamon. Reserve melted butter.
• Prepare Topping: In 1-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and honey over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter has melted. Grease 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan; pour melted brown-sugar mixture into pan and sprinkle evenly with pecans; set aside.
• Punch down dough. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; cover and let rest 15 minutes. On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into 18- by 12-inch rectangle. Brush dough with reserved melted butter and sprinkle with currant mixture. Starting at one long side, roll up dough jelly-roll fashion; place, seam side down, on surface. Cut dough crosswise into 20 slices.
• Place slices, cut side down, on topping in baking pan in 4 rows of 5 slices each. Cover pan and refrigerate at least 12 or up to 20 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake buns 30 minutes, or until golden. Remove pan from oven. Immediately place serving tray or jelly-roll pan over top of baking pan and invert; remove baking pan. Let buns cool slightly to serve warm or cool completely to serve later.

Steps:

• For the dough: Heat the milk, oil and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat to just below a boil. Set aside and let cool to warm.
• Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit on the milk mixture for 1 minute. Add 4 cups of the flour. Stir until just combined, then cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside in a relatively warm place for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, remove the towel and add the salt, baking powder, baking soda and remaining 1/2 cup flour. Stir thoroughly to combine. Use the dough right away or place in a mixing bowl and refrigerate for up to 3 days, punching down the dough if it rises to the top of the bowl. (The dough is easier to work with if it's been chilled for at least an hour or so beforehand.)
• To assemble the rolls: On a floured baking surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 30 inches by 10 inches. The dough should be very thin.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the filling: Pour the melted butter over the surface of the dough. Use your fingers to spread the butter evenly. Sprinkle over the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Don't be afraid to drizzle on more butter or more sugar! Gooey is the goal.
• Now, beginning at the end farthest from you, roll the rectangle tightly towards you. Use both hands and work slowly, being careful to keep the roll tight. Don't worry if the filling oozes as you work; that just means the rolls are going to be divine. When you reach the end, pinch the seam together and flip the roll so that the seam is face down. You'll wind up with one long buttery, cinnamony, sugary, gooey log. Slip a cutting board underneath the log and, with a sharp knife, make 16 equal slices.
• For the smear and base: Cream together the brown sugar, butter, honey and salt until lightened, then slowly add the whiskey and vanilla while mixing.
• Butter a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, layer the bottom with the pecan pieces and then scoop 5 large scoops of the smear on top. Heat in the oven until the smear is slightly foamy and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and place the sliced rolls on top of the melted smear (it's fine to put them on the hot smear). Allow the rolls to rise for 20 minutes.
• Return the skillet to the oven and bake until the rolls are golden brown and the smear is brown and sticky, 20 to 30 minutes. Take another 12-inch skillet and place it on top of the hot skillet. Flip over quickly and carefully. All of the caramelly, boozy goodness will be on top.

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine sugar, pecans and cinnamon; set aside.
• Cut each loaf into 8 slices.
• Dip each slice into melted butter; roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Stand slices upright in a greased bundt or tube pan.
• Stir vanilla with any remaining melted butter; pour over rolls.
• Top with dry pudding mix and raisins.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Uncover and let stand at room temperature 10-15 minutes.
• Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 30-35 minutes.
• Cool 5 minutes.
• Turn pan upside down onto serving plate; remove pan. Serve warm.
