Time 3h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (.25 ounce) packages quick-rising yeast (such as Fleischmann's RapidRise®)
½ cup lukewarm water
4 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup warm milk
½ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts
¼ cup butter, melted
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water in a large bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes. Stir flour, eggs, warm milk, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, and salt into the yeast and water until the mixture is a moist and sticky dough.
  • Put dough in a greased bowl and cover with a wet towel. Set aside in a warm place until dough doubles in size and holes poked into dough with a finger stay indented, about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Stir brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, honey, and corn syrup together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Pour the topping mixture into the bottom of 2 9x13-inch non-stick baking dishes. Sprinkle 1 cup raisins and walnuts evenly onto the topping mixture.
  • Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle shape 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick.
  • Brush 1/4 cup melted butter over the dough rectangle. Stir 3/4 cup white sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the butter. Sprinkle 1 cup raisins evenly over the dough. Roll dough around the filling into a cylinder; cut into 3/4-inch slices and arrange into the baking dishes. Set aside to rest for 20 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in preheated oven until no longer doughy in the middle, about 25 minutes. Immediately flip onto a serving platter, transferring topping onto rolls, and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Good-quality chocolate, fresh walnuts, and fluffy cinnamon swirl make all the difference in these sticky buns.
  • Proof the dough properly: This will help the buns rise and become light and airy. Proof the dough in a warm place, free from drafts, for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Don't over-bake the buns: They should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. Over-baking will make them dry and tough.
  • Make the caramel sauce ahead of time: You can make the caramel sauce a day or two ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it gently over low heat before using.

Conclusion:

These walnut chocolate sticky buns are a decadent and delicious treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their gooey caramel sauce, fluffy cinnamon swirl, and crunchy walnuts, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give these sticky buns a try!
