Ingredients

• 240 ml Milk
• 60 g Unsalted butter
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 400 g All-purpose flour
• 2.25 tsp Instant yeast
• 100 g Brown sugar
• 15 g Cocoa powder
• 120 g Chocolate chips
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 50 g Pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In the bread machine pan, add milk, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Then add the all-purpose flour, ensuring it covers the liquid ingredients.

Step 2

Make a small well in the flour and add the instant yeast. Place the pan in the bread machine.

Step 3

Select the dough cycle and press start. Allow the bread machine to mix, knead, and rise the dough (approximately 1.5 hours).

Step 4

Once the dough is ready, lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a 12 x 16-inch rectangle.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together 50g of brown sugar and the cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top, and if using, scatter the chopped pecans as well.

Step 7

Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the edge to seal it.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 8 equal slices.

Step 9

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and the remaining 50g of brown sugar over low heat, stirring until combined. Pour this caramel mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

Step 10

Place the sliced buns on top of the caramel mixture in the pan, spaced slightly apart. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm environment.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Once the buns have risen, bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Invert the pan onto a serving platter to allow the sticky caramel topping to coat the buns.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your Bread Machine Chocolate Sticky Buns!
