Ingredients
1 1/2 unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
3 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp yeast
FILLING
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 1 pieces
1 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
3 tbsp molasses
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cup pecan halves, toasted
Directions
Place all dough ingredients in the machine. Program for knead and
first rise and press start. At the end of the final cycle, transfer
the dough to a well-oiled bowl, cover it with plastic and refrigerate
for 2 hours. Generously butter a 12 cup bundt pan. Place the butter,
sugar, corn syrup and molasses in a 2 quart saucepan set over medium
heat. Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Cook 2 minutes at full
boil. Remove from the heat and add the cream. Stir in combine and
then immediately stir in the pecans. Continue to mix until all the
pecans are covered.
Pour a third of the filling into the prepared pan and set aside the
rest to cool while you prepare the dough. On a lightly floured work
surface, roll the dough into a 20 x 9 inch rectangle. Place the
prepared pan nearby. Pour the rest of the filling down the length of
the dough and use a metal spatula to quickly spread it to within 2"
of the edges. Flip one long side of the dough over the middle, then
the other, to form a long roll. Quickly lift the roll and place it in
the pan so that the ends overlap slightly.
Cover the pan with lightly oiled plastic wrap and allow the dough to
rise in warm place until doubled in bulk. Preheat the oven to 375øF.
with the rack in the center position. Bake for 20 minutes and then
reduce the heat to 350øF. and bake it another 20 to 25 minutes. If
the top is getting too brown, cover it loosely with foil. Put a cake
rack over a large plate. Remove cake from oven and turn over onto the
rack. Scoop up any filling that drips off and place it back on cake.
Once filling has cooled, remove the cake to a serving plate.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the Romans used a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an eruption in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private libraries. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to serve up the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
