Sticky Honey Buns

Directions

• Dough
• Line and grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
• Melt butter and milk together in a small saucepan or Thermomix to around 35 – 40 degrees Celcius. Then pour into mixing bowl.
• To your milk mixture, add honey, warm water and yeast and mix on low speed until combined.
• Add half of your flour (1 1/2 cups) plus salt and mix with dough hooks or dough setting on Thermomix for 1 minute.
• While mixer is still going gradullay add remeining flour until combined (around 1 1/2 mins)
• Knead on low for a further 2 minutes or until dough is smooth but not sticky to touch. You can add a touch more flour if too sticky or a drop of milk if too dry.
• Place dough in a large greased bowl. Cover with a clean, dry tea towel and place in a warm spot to let rise for around 1 hour.
• Filling
• While your dough is rising you can prepare the filling by adding all ingredients to a bowl and mixing until well combined.
• Assembling the buns
• Once your dough has risen, turn your dough onto a clean, floured bench and roll into a 16 x 12 inch rectangle.
• Spread filling over your dough evenly.
• Gently roll dough lengthwise and pinch to seal.
• Using a serated knife cut roll into 12 even scrolls and place in prepared baking dish. Make sure they are not touching to allow for more room to rise. Cover again with a clean, dry tea towel and place in a warm spot for another 40 – 60 mins. After this your buns should now be slightly touching.

• Bake for around 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and let cool for aound 5 – 10 minutes. While waiting, prepare your icing.
• Icing
• Combine together icing ingredients and pour/spread over buns. This works best if they are still warm as the icing will seep into the top of the buns and add even more deliciousness!
