- For the caramel glaze:

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your sticky buns:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add in the melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Mix well to combine.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until the dough comes together. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- In the meantime, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 12 equal pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and cream for the caramel glaze. Stir until smooth and combined, then pour over the rolled buns.
- Cover the dish and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the buns for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, gooey goodness!
