How to Make Fabulous Sticky Buns
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a food processor fitted with the dough blade, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- With the food processor running, gradually add the yeast mixture. Process until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sticky bun topping. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and pour the sticky bun topping evenly into the bottom.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the dough with a mixture of ¼ cup (½ stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
- Tightly roll the dough up from the long side. Cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
- Arrange the sticky bun slices in the prepared pan, cut-side up. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
