# How To Make It:
01 - Whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine milk, melted butter, and eggs. Add the wet mixture to dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. Knead by hand or mixer for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
02 - While dough rises, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, and salt. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until smooth. Pour the glaze into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Evenly sprinkle chopped pecans over the glaze.
03 - Combine softened butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon in a bowl; mix until smooth and paste-like.
04 - Punch down the dough and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Sprinkle finely chopped pecans on top. Roll up tightly from the long edge into a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls.
05 - Place rolls cut side down over the pecan glaze in the prepared baking dish. Cover loosely and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.
06 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 28 to 32 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before carefully inverting onto a serving platter to display the glaze and pecans on top.
07 - Serve the sticky buns warm and enjoy.
