directions

Dough:
- In the processor bowl, whisk eggs to combine.
- Add buttermilk. Whisk in sugar, salt and yeast.
- Add 2 cups of the flour and process until evenly moistened.
- Add balance (2 1/4 cups) of the flour.
- Process about 2 minutes.
- Should be slightly sticky but comes away from sides of bowl.
- Spray large bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Turn dough and cover with plastic wrap until doubled about 2- 2 1/2 hours.

- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepancook over medium heat until mixture is thoroughly combined. Pour into a 13x9" baking pan or dish. Spread to cover evenly. Set aside.
- Combine filling ingredients well.
-
Assembling and Baking:
- On lightly floured surface, roll out dough 16x12". Brush with the 1 tablespoons melted butter leave 1/2" border at top edge. Brush sides of the baking pan with a little bit of the butter.
- Sprinkle ingredients over the surface evenly. Press into dough to allow filling to adhere.
- Starting from the 16" side nearest to you, roll up. Pinch edges. Stretch to 18". Cut roll in half and then halves again to get 12 pieces.
- Place evenly in pan. Let raise until sides meet and are puffy.
- I actually did this recipe up to this point and covered it with plastic wrap and refrigerated it until morning. Take out early enough so that it raises quicker.
- Bake 350 degree oven30-35 minutes or until thermometer reads 180 degrees in the center bun. Remove and let cool 10 minute.
- Turn out onto a large rectangular dish or low-sided pan.
- Optional: Top with Pecan Topping.

My hobby is catering and most of all BAKING. Believe it or not I enjoy what I do. Especially so when I can cook for 350 or more for some of our church dinners. Love it, love it, love it. Hopefully some of my recipes will be tried.
