Ingredients
DOUGH
- 1/3 cup milk¹
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 ½ teaspoons instant yeast²
- 3/4 cup warm water 105F – 115F
- 3 cups all-purpose flour3
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
FILLING
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter at room temperature
ICING
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13-inch metal baking pan; set aside.
- In a small saucepan, stir milk and butter together. Heat over low heat just until butter melts. Cool to about 100-105 F.
- Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the honey, yeast, and warm water. Stir to combine.
- Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
- With the mixer still going, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Mix about 1 ½ minutes, or until dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl.
- Knead on low speed for about 2 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic – the dough will still be slightly sticky to the touch.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top. Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel.
- Let it rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 10 minutes.
- While dough is rising, prepare the filling.
- Stir the filling ingredients together until combined. Set aside.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and roll into a 12x16-inch rectangle.
- Spread filling over dough.
- Roll dough up lengthwise, pinching seam to seal.
- Cut into 12 pieces, and place in prepared baking dish. I use a serrated knife to cut the dough.
- Cover the baking dish with the dish towel, and let the dough rise for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 F.
- Bake at 20-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and baked through.
- Let the honey buns cool in pan for 5 minutes.
- While buns are cooling, whisk icing ingredients together. Icing will be thick.
- Spread icing over warm buns.
- Let buns sit 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Anything from skim to whole milk will work. However, a milk with more fat will give you a more tender roll.
- A packet of yeast has 2 and 1/4 teaspoons of yeast, so you will need 2 packets to get 3 and 1/2 teaspoons worth of yeast. If you would like to use active dry yeast, after step 4, let the yeast mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy. If your yeast doesn't foam, start over or your dough won't rise.
- You may need to use a little more or a little less flour. Go by the look and feel of the dough. You want the dough to be smooth and elastic.
