How to Make Land Of Nod Cinnamon Buns

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the egg, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon filling: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar. Stir in the cinnamon and nuts (if using).
  6. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  7. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
  8. Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side.
  9. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  10. Place the buns in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  11. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  12. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  13. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  14. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and milk or cream until smooth. Add more milk or cream if needed to reach desired consistency.
  15. Once the buns are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.
