Ingredients:

For the Maple Pecan Sticky Glaze

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  
• 1½ cups brown sugar
  
• ½ cup maple syrup
  
• ¼ cup heavy cream
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans
  
• ½ cup Jamie’s Farm NY Maple Pecan Granola

For the Dough

• 1¼ cups warm milk
• 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
  
• 1 tsp sugar (for blooming the yeast)
  
• 4¾ cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1½ tsp salt
  
• 2 tbsp sugar
  
• 2 eggs, whisked
  
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  

For the Filling

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  
• 1⅓ cup  brown sugar
  
• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup Jamie’s Farm NY Maple Pecan Granola

Instructions: 

1. Activate the Yeast: Warm the milk until just warm (not hot). Stir in 1 tsp sugar and the yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
   

2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and 2 tbsp sugar. Add the bloomed yeast, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Mix and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes). Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 to 1½ hours.
   

3. Make the Glaze: Melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, cream, vanilla, and salt, add granola. Let it cool until ready to serve.
   

4. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into a paste. Stir in the 1 cup of granola.
   

5. Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly, then roll tightly from the long side. Slice into equal pieces and prep them on your pan to be baked.
   

6. Let Them Rise Again: Cover the pan and let the rolls proof for 45 minutes, until puffy.
   

7. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbly.
   

8. Serve: Let cool for 5–10 minutes, then pour the glaze on top of your roll as your topping. Enjoy!!
