Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, 8 tablespoons of softened, unsalted butter (cut into pieces), 2 large room-temperature eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually Add Flour: Slowly incorporate 4 1/2 cups (562g) of all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for 5 minutes in the mixer or by hand until it’s soft and slightly tacky. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 2 hours. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Making The Sticky Buns Sauce
Make the Sauce: Melt 1/2 cup of butter with 1 cup of light brown sugar and 1/2 cup of golden syrup. Stir in 2 tablespoons of whipping cream. Pour the sauce into the pan and set it aside to cool while you roll the dough.
Preparing The Buns
Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread 4 tablespoons of melted butter over it.
Add Filling: Mix 1/3 cup each of light brown sugar and granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle over the dough.
Roll up the dough tightly from the long end and cut into 12 even pieces, each about 1.5 inches (4 cm) thick.
If you’re using the pecans, scatter them evenly over the sauce in the pan. Then, arrange the rolls in the sauce.
Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place until they are puffy and have nearly doubled in size, which should take about 1 hour.
Baking
Preheat Oven: About 15 minutes before your rolls are done rising, start preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake the Sticky Buns: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, until the buns are golden brown on top and cooked through. Remove pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Then, carefully invert the pan onto a large serving platter using oven mitts. The warm topping will melt down the sides. Serve warm.
