How to Make Kittencal's Raisin Sticky Buns

  1. Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch metal baking pan (or two 9-inch round pans).
  2. Prepare your favorite sweet dough recipe (or use recipe #121574) according to package directions.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
  4. Set aside the sugar mixture.
  5. While the dough is rising, prepare the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup (120ml) water, 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  7. Pour half of the syrup mixture into the prepared baking pan(s), spreading evenly with a spoon.
  8. Set aside the remaining half for drizzling later.
  9. Once the dough has doubled, gently punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
  10. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
  11. Roll the dough into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle.
  12. Spread 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter evenly over the dough.
  13. Sprinkle the prepared sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter.
  14. Scatter 1 cup (150g) raisins (or nuts) evenly over the top.
  15. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side, like a jelly roll. Pinch the seam to seal.
  16. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll into 12 even slices.
  17. Place the slices, cut-side down, onto the syrup in the prepared pan(s).
  18. Drizzle the remaining syrup evenly over the buns.
  19. Cover loosely with a clean tea towel and let rise for 30-50 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  20. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
