CINNAMON ROLL STICKY BUNS



Cinnamon Roll Sticky Buns image

Awesome cinnamon roll recipe to enjoy not only for breakfast, but anytime. This recipe stands on its own without frosting, but you can frost the rolls with your favorite type of buttercream or cream cheese frosting!

Provided by Asgard Ranch

Time 2h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup low-fat milk
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar, or to taste
½ cup unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, and cinnamon for dough in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Combine milk, sugar, and salt in a microwaveable bowl; microwave on high in 1-minute increments until very warm, but not hot to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add milk mixture to the dry ingredients; mix on low speed until combined. Add melted butter; mix until well combined. Mix in eggs until incorporated.
  • Scrape the paddle attachment and switch to the dough hook. Mix in the remaining flour until dough is fairly easy to handle. Turn out into an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place over a bowl of hot (not boiling) water and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down and turn out onto a floured surface. Roll into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with cinnamon, and finally brown sugar. Roll up the rectangle jelly roll-style and cut into 12 equal parts. Place the rolls flat on a parchment-covered cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Don't worry if they don't touch, they will continue to rise when baking.
  • While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining softened butter. Serve hot.

CINNAMON PECAN STICKY BUNS



Cinnamon Pecan Sticky Buns image

These sticky buns have to be started the night before, but they're so delicious, they're worth the extra time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 packages active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm milk, about 110 degrees
6 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
4 large eggs
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut in pieces, plus more for the pan
3 1/3 cups pecan halves
2 1/4 cups light corn syrup
1 1/4 cups packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine yeast and milk. Let stand until yeast is creamy, about 10 minutes. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture and eggs, and mix on low speed until completely combined, about 3 minutes.
  • Increase the speed to high and add butter, several pieces at a time. When all the butter has been added, continue mixing dough until it is smooth and shiny, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined 13-by-18-inch baking pan and use your hands to spread the dough out to fit the pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill overnight.
  • Generously butter one 12-cup or two 6-cup, 7-ounce-capacity muffin pans. Chop 2 cups pecans, and break remaining 1 1/3 cups pecans in half lengthwise, keeping the two types separate. Pour 3 tablespoons corn syrup into each muffin cup, and add about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to each muffin cup. Add about 2 tablespoons of the halved pecans to each muffin cup, and set the filled muffin pan aside.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator, and let stand at room temperature until slightly softened, about 15 minutes. Roll out dough lengthwise, 1/4 inch thick by 15 inches long by 20 inches wide. Using a spatula, spread sour cream over the surface of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Dust sour cream with cinnamon, and sprinkle with 2/3 cup brown sugar. Cover brown sugar with chopped pecans, and roll dough up lengthwise to form a roll 18 inches long by 3 inches in diameter.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices, and place in the prepared pan or pans, either cut side down, until every cup is filled. Cover buns with parchment paper, and let rise in a warm place until they rise 1/2 inch above cups, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer sticky buns to the oven, placing a cookie sheet on the rack below to catch any drips. Rotate the pans between the shelves to ensure even baking, until buns are dark golden brown, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove the pans from the oven, and immediately turn buns out onto a second parchment-covered cookie sheet. Replace any pecan halves that fell off buns when turning them out. Place the cookie sheet on a wire rack to cool.

SCHNECKEN (STICKY GERMAN CINNAMON BUNS)



Schnecken (Sticky German Cinnamon Buns) image

Schnecken means "snails," which is what these coiled buns resemble. They are much stickier, puffier, gooier and generally more over the top than ordinary Cinnamon Buns. These are just drop-dead good! I had them at a friend's house and stopped on the way home and bought the cookbook that the recipe came out of: How to Be a Domestic Goddess, by Nigella Lawson. I liked these even better than the Cinnamon Buns we drove for over an hour to get (only to wait in very long lines) at Knaus Berry Farm in Florida! Preparation time does not include time for letting dough rise(One hour and 20 minutes).

Categories     Breads

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 1/3 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 ounce fast rise yeast or 1 tablespoon fresh yeast
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk, plus
2 tablespoons milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (brand Sugar in the Raw)
4 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 cup walnut pieces or 1 cup pecan pieces
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup light brown raw sugar (demerara) or 1/2 cup turbinado sugar (brand Sugar in the Raw)
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Butter a 12-cup muffin pan.
  • Line a roasting pan or baking pan with parchment paper (for turning the sticky buns onto later)large enough to cover muffin pan.
  • Combine flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
  • Melt butter in the milk over very low heat and beat in eggs.
  • Stir milk/butter mixture into the dry ingredients to make the dough. Knead for 10 minutes or for 5 with dough hook. When it is springy and satiny, form a ball and put in a greased bowl. Turn to coat and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Syrup: Using an electric mixer cream butter until soft and smooth and add sugar. Beat in syrups and then divide mixture among the muffin cups and top with walnuts (about a tablespoonful in each sticky-based waiting cup.).
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Knock dough back, knead once or twice and then roll out to a large rectangle (apx 24X12) with the long side nearest you. Beat egg and add milk; glaze the dough using a pastry brush or your fingers.
  • Mix the filling ingredients in a little bowl and sprinkle onto the dough. Now, roll up from the long side and away from you, carefully and firmly (not too tight) keeping a firm sausage shape.
  • Cut into 12 even slices, and lie each slice spiral-swirly cut side up, on top of the nuts and syrup in the muffin cups.
  • Leave to rise for about 20 minutes then put into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, by which time they should be golden and cooked: crisp in parts, voluptuously gooey in others. You may want to put a baking sheet under pan to catch any falling goo.
  • Place roasting pan or baking sheet on top and turn the whole thing the other way up. Remove the muffin tray and dislodge any nuts that are still stuck in it, adding them, along with any residual syrup, to the upturned buns.
  • Leave to cool, then stuff your face -- as if you needed encouragement.

Yield Makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 18

Dough:
¾ cup buttermilk or plain whole-milk yogurt
7 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
1 large egg
¼ cup (packed; 50 g) dark brown sugar
1 ¼-oz. envelope active dry yeast (about 2¼ tsp.)
3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
¼ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
Filling and assembly:
1 cup (packed; 180 g) Medjool dates, halved, pitted
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
¼ cup (packed; 50 g) dark brown sugar
¾ cup (83 g) powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. buttermilk or plain whole-milk yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla paste or extract

Steps:

  • Dough:
  • Combine buttermilk and 6 Tbsp. oil in a small microwave-safe bowl (it won't get smooth and that's okay) and heat in the microwave in three 10-second bursts until just about body temperature (it shouldn't feel hot or cold to the touch); an instant-read thermometer will register about 98°F. (Alternatively, you can heat in a small saucepan over medium-low, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.)
  • Whisk egg, brown sugar, and yeast in a liquid measuring cup to combine, then whisk into buttermilk mixture.
  • Pulse flour, baking soda, and salt in a food processor to combine. With the motor running, stream in buttermilk mixture. Process until about 80% of the dough comes together into a ball (mixture will look very wet at first, then begin to pull away from the sides of processor), about 2 minutes.
  • Using a bowl scraper or rubber spatula, scrape dough onto an unfloured surface. (It should still be pretty wet and sticky.) Knead, pushing it away from you, then pulling it back toward you, until a smooth ball forms, about 3 minutes. The dough will grow silkier, tighter, and easier to work with as you knead.
  • Roll out dough into a rough 8" square. Fold dough over onto itself to make an 8x4" rectangle, then flatten it slightly and fold over once more to make a 4" square. Roll dough back out to an 8" square and repeat folding process (you should be back at a 4" square). Pour remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into a medium bowl and add dough (still folded); turn to coat. Cover bowl tightly and chill dough until doubled in volume, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Filling and assembly:
  • Place dates in a small bowl and pour in 1½ cups hot water to cover. Let soak until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain dates and transfer to a food processor; discard soaking liquid. Add cinnamon, salt, and 2 Tbsp. oil. Purée, scraping down sides as needed, until smooth, about 4 minutes. (You should have about ½ cup purée.)
  • Grease a 10" cast-iron skillet with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Transfer dough to a clean, unfloured surface and roll out to an 8" square. Fold in half into an 8x4" rectangle, then fold rectangle over itself to form a 4" square (same folding process as you did before). If dough feels tough and uncooperative, let it sit about 5 minutes to relax and try again. Roll out dough to a 12" square about ¼" thick. Dollop date purée all over. Using a small offset spatula, spread evenly over dough, leaving a ½" border without purée along edge farthest from you. Sprinkle brown sugar over purée.
  • Starting at edge closest to you, roll up dough into a tight log. Using a sharp serrated knife and long sawing motions, trim about ½" of dough from both ends and discard. Slice log crosswise into 3 sections, wiping knife clean between slices. Slice each section crosswise into 3 buns (you should have 9 buns total that are each about 1" thick). Transfer buns to prepared pan as you go.
  • Cover pan tightly with foil (or a domed lid if you have one) and place in a warm, dry spot. Let buns rise until they're doubled in volume and spring back when poked, leaving only a small indentation, 1-1½ hours, depending on how warm and humid your kitchen is.
  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Bake buns, still covered, until puffed, pale, and mostly set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes if you prefer a soft and squishy bun and up to 25 minutes for a more toasted bun. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla in a medium bowl to combine.
  • Brush glaze over warm buns and serve in skillet.
  • Do Ahead: Purée can be made 3 days ahead. Place in an airtight container; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

Time 9h5m

Number Of Ingredients 20

DOUGH:
1/4 c warm water (105degrees to 115degrees)
1 1/4 oz active dry yeast package
1/3 c white sugar
3/4 c milk
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the bowl
3 large egg yolks
1 Tbsp finely grated orange zest
1 1/4 tsp salt
4 to 4 1/4 c all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the cutting board
FILLING:
1/2 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
TOPPING:
3/4 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp light corn syrup
1 1/2 c (6 ounces) coarsely chopped pecans ( or hazelnuts) (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. YEAST: the bowl of an electric mixer, combine warm water, yeast and 1 tsp. sugar. Stir to dissolve and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Here's a good photo and description of what the yeast should look like after several minutes.
  • 2. MAKE THE DOUGH: 1.Once the yeast is ready add milk, butter, remaining sugar, egg yolks, orange zest, salt and 3 cups flour. Mix on low speed until blended. Switch to a dough hook and then, again on low speed, slowly incorporate the remaining 1 cup of flour. Increase speed to medium, kneading dough until smooth and slightly sticky (adding a little more flour if too wet), 3 to 5 minutes. 2.Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large, buttered bowl. Turn dough over in bowl to coat with the butter from the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour (or 2 hours if not in an entirely warm place). 3.After the dough has risen, punch down. Turn out onto a lightly flouredcutting board and let sit 20 minutes.
  • 3. MAKING THE FILLING. 1.Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt butter; keep separate. 2.Roll dough out into a 12" x 18" rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Starting with the long side, roll dough into a cylinder. Place seam side down on a flat surface and cut crosswise into 15 slices.
  • 4. MAKING THE TOPPING. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, honey and corn syrup over low heat; stir until sugar and butter are melted. Pour mixture into a greased 9" x 13" pan and sprinkle pecans on top.
  • 5. Place dough slices, flat side down, on top of prepared topping. Crowd them so they touch. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving room for the buns to rise, and refrigerate overnight.
  • 6. Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature while the oven pre-heats. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake buns until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove pan from oven and immediately (and carefully as not to spill hot topping on your toes!) invert onto a serving tray or baking dish. Let buns cool slightly and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh yeast: Fresh yeast is more active than active dry yeast, so it will result in a more flavorful and fluffy cinnamon bun.
  • Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast means activating it in warm water with a little sugar. This will help ensure that your cinnamon buns rise properly.
  • Use a warm place to let the dough rise: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If your kitchen is too cold, you can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on.
  • Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading the dough will make it tough. Knead just until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise twice: After the first rise, punch down the dough and then let it rise again. This will help develop the flavor and texture of the cinnamon buns.
  • Use a generous amount of cinnamon sugar: Don't be shy with the cinnamon sugar. The more you use, the more flavorful your cinnamon buns will be.
  • Bake the cinnamon buns until they are golden brown: The cinnamon buns are done baking when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Sticky cinnamon buns are a delicious and indulgent treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. By following these tips, you can make perfect cinnamon buns at home that will impress your family and friends. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
