Ingredients
- The Bun
- 1 c. Warm Water
- 2 tbsp. Warm Water
- 2 1/4 tsp. Active Dry Baker's Yeast
- 2 tbsp. Honey
- 3 3/4 c. THRIVE Country White Dough Mix
- The Sticky Stuff
- 1/2 c. Butter, softened or THRIVE Butter
- 1/2 c. Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
- 3 tbsp. Honey or THRIVE Honey
- 1 pn Salt
- 1/4 c. Pecan halves
Directions
- Prep the Dough
- Add the water, yeast, and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with the dough hook. Slowly add in the dough mix. Once it's all incorporated, knead in mixer for about 5 minutes.
- Spray a medium bowl with cooking spray. Form the dough into a ball and place in the bowl, turning to coat it with the cooking spray. Cover and allow to rise for about 40 minutes.
- When dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 9 pieces (or 16 as mentioned in the description). Set aside while you prep the sticky stuff.
- Prep the Sticky Stuff
- Combine all but the pecans in a medium bowl and stir well to combine everything.
- Spread this onto the bottom and up the sides of the cast iron skillet.
- Place the pecan halves evenly over the sticky stuff. (If you want it to be pretty, make sure you have the flatter side of the pecan facing up.)
- Dough + Sticky Stuff
- Take the dough pieces and roll into balls. Place these evenly over the sticky stuff. Cover and allow to rise about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake the skillet, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until rolls are golden and dough is cooked through. Allow to sit for 15 minutes once you remove it from the oven.
- Place a large plate upside-down over the skillet and carefully flip so that the rolls release onto the plate. Enjoy!
