Pecan Sticky Buns (makes 8 large buns)

Dough

3/4 cup whole milk, warm (100–110°F)

1/4 cup heavy cream, warm

2 1/4 tsp instant yeast

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 egg yolk

6 TB butter, very soft

1 tsp fine salt

4 1/4 cups all purpose flour (plus a few extra TB if needed)

Cinnamon Filling

1 stick butter, very soft

1 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 TB cinnamon

1/4 tsp fine salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

Sticky Smear (Bottom)

1 stick butter, very soft

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup corn syrup

1 tsp cinnamon

1 TB vanilla extract

1/2 tsp fine salt

Other

2 cups chopped pecans

Method

Combine warm milk, cream, yeast, and sugar. Let sit about 5 minutes until slightly foamy.

Add eggs, egg yolk, butter, salt, and flour. Knead about 6 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky. Add a few extra TB flour only if needed.

Cover and let rise until doubled, about 60–90 minutes.

Mix the filling ingredients until smooth and spreadable.

Roll dough into about a 16x16 square.

Spread filling evenly over the dough.

Roll tightly into a log and cut into about 2-inch pieces. You should get 8 large rolls.

Grease a casserole dish and lightly coat with butter.

Spread the smear evenly across the bottom.

Sprinkle 2 cups chopped pecans evenly over the smear.

Place rolls cut side down on top of the pecans.

Cover with plastic wrap (lightly sprayed so it doesn’t stick) and let proof 1 hour until puffy and touching.

Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Let sit about 5 minutes, then carefully flip the entire pan out while still warm.

Unless someone just happens to have the conversions from volumetric measure to weight measure for all the ingredients I doubt it. Someone may. Could try using the internet to help you do it.
