Ingredients
- 200mls (6.7 fluid ounce) milk
- 3 teaspoons instant yeast granules
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 1/4 - 3 1/2 cups (450g or just under 1 1b) flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 60g (just under 2 ounces) butter, melted
- 100g butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 75g butter, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Method
Heat the milk just until lukewarm. Stir in the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar and set aside for 5 minutes until frothy.
Combine the flour, salt and remaining sugar in large bowl. Mix in the butter, egg and yeast mixture. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. The dough should be slightly sticky but if too sticky then add a touch more flour.
Wash and dry the bowl and then grease with a little butter. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with a tea towel and sit in a warm spot for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
In a small saucepan melt together the butter and brown sugar.
Drizzle this into the bases of a 8 muffin cups.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a separate bowl
Roll the dough out to a rectangle approximately 34cm by 30cm (14 x 12 inches).
With the widest side of the dough facing you, gently spread the softened butter over the dough and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
Roll the dough up tightly into a pinwheel and then cut into 8 even slices approximately 3-4cm wide.
Place the pinwheels cut side facing up in greased muffin tins.. Cover and set aside in a warm spot for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F).
Bake the sticky buns for 30-40 minutes until crisp on top and cooked through.
Remove from the oven, allow to rest for 5 minutes and then invert onto a serving plate, scraping any remaining brown sugar mixture over the buns.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes: Chopped walnuts or pecans are also delicious, add these to the caramel mixture in the base of the dish.
If you want to be extra decadent add 1/3 cup cream to the caramel mixture.
This looks sooo yummy. Do you know if the fist part of this can be done in a bread machine?
I just made these and used the bread maker for the dough, they turned out fine. They are delicious too!!
Oh great Kerry thanks for answering Diane’s query. I make my dough in the cake mixer with a dough hook but great that the bread maker works. I need to get a better photo as they are really delicious.
