Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let stand 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 cups flour. Add yeast mixture and remaining flour; stir until a soft dough forms.
- Turn dough onto floured surface; knead 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in greased bowl, cover, let rise 1 hour until doubled.
- Punch down dough; roll into 12x9-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough; mix brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over butter.
- Roll up tightly from long side; pinch seam. Cut into 12 slices; place in greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover, let rise 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake buns 20-25 minutes until golden.
- Meanwhile, make glaze: in small saucepan, combine honey and 2 tablespoons butter; heat until melted. Remove from heat; whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over warm buns. Serve warm.
Tips
- For extra gooey buns, pour half the glaze before baking and the rest after.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat individual buns in the microwave for 15 seconds.
