1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3.5 cup all-purpose flour

(this uses a shortcode which is kind of invisible in the divi view, don’t delete)
- Directions
DOUGH
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water (just above body temperature) and let sit for 15 m. (It should bubble.)
In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, butter, flour and salt until evenly mixed. If mixing by hand, knead for about five minutes on a floured surface. If you’re using a hook mixer, mix for about three minutes.
Transfer dough to oiled bowl. Cover with a checkered tea towel (the checkered part Is very important) and let rise until doubled.
Mix filing ingredients together and set aside. Have melted butter ready.
GOO
Add butter, brown sugar and syrup in saucepan over medium heat. Stir until bubbling. Pour into a greased 9×13” pan and set pan aside.
FILLING
Mix sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.
Have the melted butter ready.
FINAL STEPS
Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into an 18 x 12” rectangle. Brush the entire surface of the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon and brown sugar mix. Roll up the dough from the long side and cut into 12 pieces. Place into the goo pan, evenly spaced. Cover with the tea towel and let rise for an hour.
Preheat oven to 350°. Cover risen sticky buns and bake for 30 – 40 m until they are a rich golden-brown.
