some pictures of my weekend bake, sourdough bread and some sticky buns.
I have been making bread for sometime now, and decided to branch out into making some sticky buns out of some of it. Bread part works ok, but it is the (sticky) part that is not working so well. I am using Pecans 1/2 cup, brown sugar 1/2 to 1 cup, 1/2 cup butter, and 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup. The result is a real nice coating, but it is so hard it about breaks your teeth when trying to bite through it. I bake at 350 for about 40 min. Any help?
I used king Arthurs recipe for Ridiculously Easy Sticky Buns. The glaze looked perfect when I inverted the pan, but as the buns cool, it turns more chewy than I'd like. Almost a taffy/caramel/candy like consistency.
The glaze uses brown sugar, honey, butter, and pecans, all of which go into the baking pan unmixed...uncooked.
I just want the glaze to be soft & sticky.
Should I shorten the baking time? Use corn syrup instead of honey? Perhaps, use another glaze recipe?
Thank you in advance!
Just made some sticky cinnamon raisin buns, the taste and texture was wonderful, but as you can see no pictures, they looked sort of up and down, not nice and even, but boy the taste was there. made 2 doz buns and one raisin loaf.......
1 litre tap hot water,
2 1 inch cubes fresh yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup soft butter
rounded teaspoon fine sea salt
2 eggs at room temp
and enough flour to give me a good workable dough.

390 convection. qahtan
Even though these are 100% whole wheat, I'm not even going to try convincing anyone (though I've tried to convince myself) that these are remotely healthy. But since whole wheat flour is what I've usually got on hand and since using whole wheat flour does make them somewhat less unhealthy (maybe), when I make sticky buns, I make them this way. The dough is an amalgamation of many recipes, but the filling and topping are from King Arthur Flour Whole Grains Baking.
