Ingredients
Dough
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 packet active dry yeast about 2 1/4 teaspoons
- 1 prinkle sugar to activate the yeast
- 5 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
- 8 tablespoons butter softened (room temp.)
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened (room temp.)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the Dough
- Warm the milk (to between 100 and 110 degrees F) in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle in the yeast and sugar. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast begins to foam up. (Working with yeast can take some practice, but it must foam up a little for your dough to rise properly.)
- Meanwhile, mix together the flour, butter, honey, eggs, and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Slowly beat in the milk mixture until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Make the Filling
- Melt the butter, honey, and cinnamon together in a small saucepan. Whisk until smooth and remove from heat.
Assembly
- Grease a 10-inch bundt pan and set aside.
- Cut the dough into golf ball sized pieces and roll each one into a ball. Roll the dough balls around in the filling mixture until well coated and then place in the bundt pan in overlapping layers. Drizzle remaining filling over top.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 min to 1 hour.
- Bake at 350 degrees F until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool then set a plate or cake platter on top of the pan, and carefully flip over to invert.
Make the Glaze
- Whisk together the softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour over top and serve.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
