Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (12 rolls) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 2 tsps ground cinnamon
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (50 g) chopped pecans
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter, creating a non-stick surface for the sweet creation.
- Base Creation: Melt butter in a saucepan, blending brown sugar until a smooth, glossy caramel forms, creating a rich foundation for the sticky buns.
- Pecan Layering: Scatter chopped pecans across the caramel base, establishing a crunchy textural element that will enhance the overall sensory experience.
- Roll Arrangement: Nestle Hawaiian rolls closely together in the prepared dish, ensuring they are snugly positioned to absorb the caramel decadence.
- Flavor Infusion: Drizzle the warm caramel mixture over the rolls, guaranteeing complete coverage and allowing the sweet syrup to seep between each roll.
- Spice Accent: Sprinkle ground cinnamon across the surface, introducing a warm, aromatic dimension to the developing flavor profile.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the dish into the preheated oven, allowing the rolls to bake until edges turn a deep golden brown and the tops become gloriously puffy, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Resting and Serving: Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving platter, revealing the gleaming, pecan-studded sticky buns in all their caramelized splendor.
Notes
- Preheat Precisely: Maintain consistent oven temperature around 350°F to ensure even caramelization and roll texture without burning.
- Choose Quality Rolls: Select fresh, soft Hawaiian rolls that are sturdy enough to absorb the caramel sauce without becoming soggy or falling apart.
- Pecan Perfection: Toast pecans briefly before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming soft during baking.
- Caramel Coating Technique: Pour warm sugar-butter mixture slowly and evenly, allowing it to penetrate between rolls for maximum flavor distribution and glossy finish.
