Ingredients:

This recipe uses readily available ingredients, making it simple to prepare even on a busy weeknight.

For the Dough:

• 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 ½ - 4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Sticky Glaze:

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

Making the Dough:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy. This ensures your yeast is active and will properly leaven your dough.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Whisk until well combined.
3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.
4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until manageable.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Preparing and Baking the Rolls:

1. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough to release the air. Roll the dough out into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter (about ¼ cup).
2. Roll and Slice: Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
3. Arrange in Pan: Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
4. Second Rise: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Making the Sticky Glaze:

1. Combine Ingredients: While the rolls are baking, prepare the sticky glaze. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
2. Simmer and Flavor: Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract and nuts (if using).
3. Glaze the Rolls: Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, pour the warm glaze over the top. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Success:

• Use fresh yeast: This ensures the best rise for your sticky rolls.
• Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading can result in tough rolls.
• Let the rolls rise properly: Adequate rising time is crucial for light and fluffy rolls.
• Serve warm: Sticky rolls are best served warm, straight from the oven.

Enjoy your deliciously sticky, sweet, and perfectly baked rolls! They're perfect for sharing (or not!). Remember to adjust the sweetness and ingredients based on your preference. Happy baking!
