Ingredients
for the brioche dough
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 10 g (2 tsp) instant dried yeast
- 1 egg
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp softened butter
for the syrup
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
for the filling
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup pecan nuts roughly chopped
Instructions
- Combine the milk, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Allow to stand for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Start kneading with the dough hook then add the egg and butter.
- Knead for 5 minutes until the dough starts coming away from the side of the bowl. (If the dough is too sticky, add 1-2tbsp) flour.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to rise overnight. If you want to make the buns immediately, allow to rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature.
- To make the syrup, combine all the syrup ingredients (except for the butter) in a saucepan and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the syrup is the consistency of maple syrup. Add the butter and mix well then remove from the heat.
- When the dough has come up to room temperature, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle of approximately 1cm thick.
- Spread the butter over the dough then mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Top with the chopped pecan nuts.
- Roll the dough up tightly then cut into 4-5cm thick buns.
- Pour half of the syrup in the bottom of an oven-proof casserole dish.
- Place the buns on top of the syrup, allowing a little room in between them for the second proving stage.
- Cover the buns with a piece of plastic wrap then allow to rise for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Before placing in the oven, pour the remaining syrup over the top of the buns (re-heat if necessary) then place in the oven.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
