How to Make Land Of Nod Cinnamon Buns
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the egg, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side.
- Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Place the buns in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- 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.
- Once the buns are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.
