Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Instant coffee powder
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 cup Pecans
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is lukewarm. Stir in the instant coffee powder until dissolved and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk-coffee mixture, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.

Step 3

Add the softened butter, eggs, salt, and 3 1/2 cups of flour to the bowl. Mix until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, adding the remaining flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough rises, prepare the sticky glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, honey, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is bubbling and thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and pour the glaze into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Set aside.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 18x12 inches.

Step 9

Spread the remaining softened butter over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered surface.

Step 10

Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 12 equal pieces. Place the pieces cut-side-up in the prepared baking dish with the sticky glaze.

Step 12

Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap and let the buns rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 13

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the buns for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto a large serving platter to release the buns and sticky glaze.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy!
