Cinnamon Sticky Buns

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Sticky Buns.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious journey, grab your stand mixer and fit it with the paddle attachment.

2. Step 2

   In the bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour, yeast, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to create a delightful dough base.

3. Step 3

   Next, take a microwave-safe bowl and combine the milk, sugar, and salt.

4. Step 4

   Heat this mixture in the microwave on high, checking every minute until it’s warm but not hot to the touch—this should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once your milk mixture is ready, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until everything is just combined.

6. Step 6

   Now, add in the melted butter and mix until it’s fully incorporated.

7. Step 7

   Then, crack in the eggs and blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

8. Step 8

   It’s time to switch gears! Scrape down the paddle attachment and swap it for the dough hook.

9. Step 9

   Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough becomes manageable and easy to handle.

10. Step 10

    Transfer your lovely dough to a bowl that’s been lightly oiled, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it over a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water.

11. Step 11

    Let it rest and rise until it doubles in size, which should take about an hour.

12. Step 12

    Once your dough has risen beautifully, give it a gentle punch down to release the air, then turn it out onto a floured surface.

13. Step 13

    Roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.

14. Step 14

    Spread softened butter generously over the surface, then sprinkle it with cinnamon and brown sugar for that sweet, aromatic touch.

15. Step 15

    Roll the dough up like a jelly roll and slice it into 12 equal pieces.

16. Step 16

    Now, place the rolls flat on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

17. Step 17

    Cover them with plastic wrap and a towel, and let them rise in a warm, cozy spot until they double in size again—this should take about 40 minutes to an hour.

18. Step 18

    While your rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s nice and hot when they’re ready to bake.

19. Step 19

    When the rolls have puffed up and are ready to go, pop them into the preheated oven and bake until they’re golden brown on top, which will take about 20 to 25 minutes.

20. Step 20

    Once they’re out of the oven, brush the tops with the remaining softened butter for that extra touch of richness.

21. Step 21

    Serve these warm, and watch as everyone gathers around to enjoy the delightful aroma and taste of your homemade rolls!.
