Hey, guys! 🍬 Who’s ready to make the gooiest, yummiest Sticky Buns ever?
These are perfect for breakfast or when you need something sweet and cozy.
You’re gonna love how the caramel sauce oozes everywhere. Let’s get baking!
What You’ll Need:
- For the Dough:
- 1 cup warm milk (not hot, just cozy 🥛)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 6 tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling:
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon (the more, the better 🌟)
- 6 tbsp softened butter
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Dough
- First, warm your milk until it’s about the temp of a cozy bath. Not too hot! Mix in the yeast and sugar. Let it sit for 5 mins until it gets all bubbly like a science experiment. 🧪
2.Add the eggs, melted butter, and salt. Stir it all together.
3.Slowly add the flour, 1 cup at a time, until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and soft like a pillow. 🛏️
4.Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about an hour. It should double in size!
Step 5: Roll and Fill
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top. Roll it up like a big cinnamon roll, starting from the long side.
Roll out the dough into a big rectangle (think pizza dough, but for buns!).
Spread the softened butter all over the dough.
Step 6: Make the Topping
In a small saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and honey (or corn syrup) together until smooth. Pour this delicious caramel-y mix into a greased baking pan. Sprinkle pecans if you want some crunch!
Step 7: Assemble and Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and delicious!
Cut your dough log into thick slices (about 12) and place them in the pan on top of the caramel sauce.
Let them sit for 20-30 minutes to rise again.
Step 8: Flip and Serve
Serve warm and enjoy the sticky, sugary goodness!
After baking, flip the pan upside down onto a serving dish (carefully, it’s hot!). Now you’ve got sticky buns covered in gooey caramel! 😍
