Ingredients:

• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 3/4 – 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water.
   • Add in the milk, sugar, oil, salt, and 4 1/4 cups of flour.
   • Beat the mixture on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until smooth.
   • Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.

2. Knead the Dough:

   • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.

3. Let the Dough Rise:

   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
   • Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.

4. Prepare the Filling:

   • Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and turn it onto a lightly floured surface.
   • Roll the dough into an 18″ x 12″ rectangle.
   • Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2″ border around the edges.
   • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture over the buttered dough.
   • Starting with a long side, roll up the dough tightly, pinching the seam to seal.

5. Assemble the Buns:

   • Cut the rolled dough into 12 slices.
   • In a greased 13″ x 9″ x 2″ baking pan, combine the brown sugar and cream, then sprinkle the chopped pecans over the mixture.
   • Place the rolls, cut side down, over the pecans.
   • Cover the pan and let the rolls rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

6. Bake to Perfection:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Bake the assembled rolls for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the caramel is bubbling.
   • Remove the pan from the oven and allow the buns to cool for a minute before inverting them onto a flat surface.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the warm Pecan Sticky Buns and savor every delicious bite, especially on a day when you need a comforting treat.
