STICKY BUNS

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.

EASY STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a 12-cup standard muffin tin on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 12 tablespoons butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Place 1 rounded tablespoon of the mixture in each of the 12 muffin cups. Distribute the pecans evenly among the 12 muffin cups on top of the butter and sugar mixture.
• Lightly flour a wooden board or stone surface. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry with the folds going left to right. Brush the whole sheet with the melted butter. Leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry, sprinkle each sheet with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of the raisins. Starting with the end nearest you, roll the pastry up snugly like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam side down. Trim the ends of the roll about 1/2-inch and discard. Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place each piece, spiral side up, in 6 of the muffin cups. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry to make 12 sticky buns.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until the sticky buns are golden to dark brown on top and firm to the touch. Be careful - they're hot! Allow to cool for 5 minutes only, invert the buns onto the parchment paper (ease the filling and pecans out onto the buns with a spoon) and cool completely.

PINEAPPLE STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a standard muffin pan.
• Mix together the pineapple, butter, sugar and cinnamon. Spoon mixture into 10 prepared muffin cups, dividing equally.
• Place a refrigerated biscuit over mixture in each cup.
• Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool 5 minutes; then invert to remove from pan.

VEGAN STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Make the paste:.
• Stir the ¼ cup of flour and 1/3 cup water together in a small pot. Place over a medium heat on the stove and cook until the mixture has thickened into a stiff paste. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Make the dough:.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast and lukewarm water. Let it stand for 10 minutes until bubbly. Add the cooled paste you made earlier, the flour, sugar, salt and vegetable oil to the bowl of the stand mixer. With the dough hook attached, knead the dough in the mixer for 6 minutes on a medium speed until smooth and elastic. Pour a little bit of extra oil into the bowl and turn the dough so that the oil coats the dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• Make the topping:.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. Scoop out 1/3 cup of this mixture and place into a separate bowl - to this 1/3 cup of mixture add the maple syrup and stir until smooth then stir in the walnuts.
• Dot this walnut mixture over a deep 9x13-inch baking pan and place into the oven - turn the oven on to 350 F and leave the pan in there until the mixture has melted. Remove from the oven and spread the mixture over the base of the pan so it's evenly coated.
• To the remaining butter-sugar mixture, add the cinnamon and flour. Stir together until smooth.
• Shape the rolls:.
• Roll the dough out to a 18 x 12-inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon-butter mixture you made earlier over the surface of the dough. Starting at the short edge, roll the dough up into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place cut side down into the prepared baking tray.
• Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30-40 minutes in a warm place until almost doubled in volume. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Uncover the rolls, bake for 25-30 minutes until golden on top. Remove from the oven and run a knife around the edges of the buns to loosen then flip out onto a baking tray whilst still hot. Let cool and then serve.

PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE BUNS

Steps:

• DOUGH.
• Soften yeast in warm water. Let stand 10 minutes.
• In a large heavy duty mixer (or large bowl, if by hand) pour scaled milk over butter. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in 4 cups of flour, sugar, mashed potatoes, salt and dissolved yeast. Mix at low speed. Add remaining flour as needed to make a soft dough, the dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl and as you mix, will be somewhat reluctant to lie back down in the bowl. The dough will be definitely sticky when you are finished mixing. Leave in mixer bowl, covered with plastic wrap overnight or about 8 hours.
• The next morning, punch dough, turn dough out onto floured board and cut dough in half. Roll each half into a rectangle.
• FILLING.
• Drain the pineapple. The more you can drain it - the better consistency for the filling.
• In a mixer whip the softened cream cheese and sugar until fluffy, blend in nutmeg and vanilla. Stir in well-drained pineapple. Do not over mix.
• Divide in half and spread over each rectangle.
• Roll up and slice into 1 1/2 inch slices and place on parchment paper covered cookie sheets. Let rise until double (about 30 minutes) Preheat oven to 375°F Bake for 15 minutes. Turn down to 350°F and bake for 10-15 more minutes. If edges are getting too dark cover with tinfoil.
• If desired, decorate with frosting of your choice and place red & green cherries in the centre of each bun.
• My family places the uncooked buns onto parchment paper in the shape of a Christmas tree (1 bun at top, next layer 2 buns, repeat until the last layer is 4 buns across and then place 2 buns down for the tree stump).
• Very delicious, very easy and if baked and frosted as a Christmas tree, very festive!
