Cinnamon Sticky Buns

I finally summoned the courage to try making Cinnamon Buns, with the help of Anna Olson's recipe from her show Sugar on Food Network Canada.

These were the most tender, tasty, sweet, sticky cinnamon buns I have every had!!! 

My husband ended up bringing some of these into his office, and everyone there thought they were good too.. So I want to share my photos and the recipe with you as well as how easy this was to make.

If you have a stand mixer it is so quick.. this took me 5 mins to make the dough, considering most of the work to make dough is in the kneading and pulling of the dough..the mixer does this all very quickly, the rest is all wait time, till you need to make the goo and roll out the dough..but OMG was it ever easy.. I am so happy about how these turned out! Here is the recipe .. Enjoy!!

Ingredients

Dough

1 1 /4 cups 2% milk, just above body temperature (1 05 F)

2 1 /4 teaspoons (1 pkg) instant dry y east

1 /4 cup sugar

1 large egg at room temperature

1 /4 cup unsalted butter, melted

3 1 /2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

Goo

1 /2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1 /2 cup maple syrup

Filling & Assembly

2/3 cup packed light brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Dough

1 . For the dough, measure all the ingredients into a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon, or blend in a

stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment until evenly combined. If mixing by hand, turn the dough

out onto a work surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes, or if in a mixer, knead for about 3

minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size,

90 minutes to 2 hours.

Goo

1 . For the goo, add the butter, brown sugar and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring

until melted and the mixture is bubbling. Pour this into a greased 9-x -1 3-inch pan the prepared pan

and set aside.

Filling & Assembly

1 . For the filling, stir the brown sugar and cinnamon together and set aside. Have the melted butter

ready .

2. Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1 8-x -1 2

inches. Brush the entire surface of the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon

brown sugar mixture. Roll up the dough from the longer side and then cut the roll into 1 2 pieces. Place

these into the prepared pan, evenly spaced, cover with plastic wrap or tea towel and let rise for an

hour.

3. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Uncover the risen sticky buns and bake them for 40-45 minutes, until they

are a rich golden brown. It is recommended to cool the sticky buns for 1 5 minutes in the pan before

inverting to serve.

4. The sticky buns are best served the day they are baked.
