Ingredients
Cinnamon Bun Dough
- 2 1/4 teaspoons traditional yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water 110 °F
- 1/4 cup scalded milk cooled until just warm
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 1/4-2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Cinnamon Bun Filling
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Creamy Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream 18 % and up
Instructions
- In the bottom of a mixing bowl attached to a stand mixer, combine the warm water and yeast until dissolved.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients, adding only 2 cups of the flour to start.
- Mix together, adding enough of the remaining flour to bring the dough together, until it's smooth and elastic and only slightly tacky to the touch.
- Place in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm draft free place until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and turn out onto a floured counter top. Roll into a 12 inch by 10 inch rectangle.
- Spread out the butter on top of the rectangle, then sprinkle the brown sugar/cinnamon on top.
- Roll up tightly, beginning at the wide side ( meaning that you are going to end up with a roll that is 12 inches wide, not 9). Pinch the seam and roll over so that the seam is at the bottom.
- Slice into (12) 1 inch wide rolls.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the Creamy Caramel Sauce. Pour into the bottom of a 9x13 pan
- Place the 12 cinnamon buns ( cut side down) into the pan.
- Cover again ( plastic wrap is best at this point) and let rise until the buns rise enough to fill the pan - and they WILL fill the pan. ( see the photo in my post) You must wait until this point for the best cinnamon buns ever!
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 °F. Bake the cinnamon buns for 25-30 minutes, until darkly browned.
- Remove and serve warm !
