How to Make Way Ahead Sticky Buns
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk (1 cup), yeast (2 ¼ tsp), and sugar (¼ cup). Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add egg (1), melted butter (½ cup), salt (1 tsp), and vanilla extract (1 tsp) to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour (4 cups), mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the sticky topping: In a saucepan, combine brown sugar (1 cup), butter (½ cup), and water (½ cup). Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until thickened. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
- Roll out the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter (¼ cup) and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (½ cup cinnamon and 1 cup sugar).
- Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Arrange the slices cut-side up in the prepared baking pan on top of the sticky topping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
