- Stir together yeast and warm water in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. If your yeast doesn’t foam, it may be bad and you'll need to try new yeast.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flour, milk, butter, yolks, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and yeast mixture. Use a rubber spatula to stir all of the ingredients together then mix at low speed until a soft dough forms. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 3 minutes more. You may have to stop occasionally if you see dry bits settling at the bottom of the mixer. Bring everything together with your hands and then continue kneading with the dough hook until a uniform ball is made.
- Sprinkle the dough lightly with flour, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise at warm room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough on this surface. The dough should be a rectangle with dimensions of about 4 x 10 inches. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon onto the dough and spread evenly around. Roll the dough along the shortest side of the dough to form a log.
- Cut the dough log into four equally sized buns. Slightly flatten the bun by pressing on the cut sides. If the ends look like they'll come loose, try tucking the end inside one of the other layers. Place them cut side down onto a baking sheet. Cover and allow to rest for about 10 minutes while you heat the oil and make the glaze.
- While the buns rest, mix together powdered sugar, honey, water, salt, and vanilla until no lumps remain.
- Place 4 cups of oil into a 3 qt saucepan. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan so that the bulb is submerged in the oil to register the temperature. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 355 degrees F.
- Fry one bun at a time. Gently lower the bun into the hot oil and allow it to fry and brown for 1-2 minutes. Flip to the other side and fry for 1 minute more. Rotate the bun through the oil for 15 more seconds, making sure that every bit of the bun is moistened with very hot oil. Remove and quickly transfer to a wire rack.
- Return oil to 355°F between batches and fry the remainder of the buns, transferring to the wire rack when they're done.
- Dip the buns in the glaze mixture and let the excess drip off. The honey buns are best if eaten immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days.

Honey Buns

There is very little white sugar in these not-just-for-breakfast buns -- but you won't miss it. Honey imparts its smooth, mellow sweetness to every component: the rich, buttery dough, the tangy creme fraiche filling, and the appealingly sticky topping.

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1/3 cup warm water
- 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup honey (any type)
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
- Vegetable oil, for bowl
- 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup honey (any type), plus more for brushing and drizzling
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
How to cook:
- Make the dough: Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk milk, butter, eggs, honey, salt, and vanilla with a mixer on medium speed. Add yeast mixture, and whisk for 1 minute. Switch to dough hook, reduce speed to low, and add 4 cups flour. After flour is incorporated, raise speed to medium, and continue kneading.
- Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Raise speed to medium-high, and knead for 10 minutes. (Alternatively, knead by hand until smooth, 15 to 20 minutes.)
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until dough is very smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic, and set aside in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Make the filling and topping: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey, corn syrup, and sugar, bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat. Let cool. Combine mascarpone and creme fraiche in a bowl.
- Punch down dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 3 portions. Roll each into a ball. Freeze 2 for up to 3 months (thaw in the refrigerator before using). Roll remaining dough into a 10-by-13 1/2-inch rectangle. Brush lightly with honey, spread mascarpone mixture evenly on top, leaving a 1-inch border, and sprinkle with pecans. Starting on 1 long side, roll dough into a log. Pinch along seam to seal. Cut into nine 1 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- Pour honey mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan. Place buns, cut sides down, in pan, 3 to a row. Let buns rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place oven rack in lower third. Bake buns, rotating halfway through, until brown and bubbling, about 1 hour. (If buns darken too quickly, cover with foil.) Set a wire rack on a baking sheet. Immediately invert buns onto rack. Drizzle with honey, and serve warm.

Ingredients:
- 120 ml warm water
- 60 g sour cream
- 1 egg
- 33 g sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 340 g bread flour
- 7 g / 1 packet instant dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 60 g powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons milk
How to cook:
- Start by making the dough. Put the water and honey in a mixing bowl and sprinkle the dry yeast over the surface. Stir to combine and set aside, allowing the yeast to dissolve for 5 minutes or until foam forms on top.
- In another bowl, combine the egg, sour cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, then stir in the water, honey, and yeast mixture.
- Add half of the flour and mix until combined. Continue adding flour, a few tablespoons at a time, until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 7 to 10 minutes until your dough has a nice elastic stretch to it. While kneading the dough, try not to add too much extra flour. The goal is to keep the dough soft, and adding additional flour throws off the fat to flour ratio, resulting in a tougher honey bun. Alternatively, use the stand mixer for kneading the dough.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with a clean dishtowel or plastic wrap, and set it in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. It should take about one hour.
- Punch down the dough, transfer it to a lightly floured surface, and cut it into 14 even parts. To keep the dough from drying out, cover the divided portions with a clean dishtowel or plastic wrap. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough into snakes, coil them, moisten the “tail,” and press it down on edge to make a coiled bun.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, cover loosely with a clean dishtowel, and allow it to proof for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180℃ (350℉) for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Start preparing the glaze. Stir the powdered sugar, honey, and milk together in a bowl and mix well until the glaze becomes smooth.
- Once the buns are done, dip the tops into the glaze.
- Place glazed honey buns on baking paper and serve. Enjoy!

Number of ingredients: 15
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Cup Lukewarm Water
- 2 packages Active Dry Yeast
- 1/3 Cup Sugar + a pinch, separated
- 2 T Honey
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 Cup Lukewarm Milk
- 2 Large Eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 Cup Salted Butter, Softened
- 4-1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour & more for kneading
- 1/4 Cup Salted Butter, Softened
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 2 T Honey
- 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
- 2 T Honey
- 3 T Water
How to cook:
- In a measuring cup or small bowl, add lukewarm water, pinch of sugar, and yeast. Stir to combine and set aside for a few minutes while you prepare the next step.
- In a large bowl, mix together warm milk, honey, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved.
- Add proofed yeast to the milk mixture. Add eggs and butter. Mix to combine.
- Gradually add flour, adding just enough to create a smooth dough that comes together and leaves you with a clean bowl. Depending on weather, humidity level, etc. you may need more or less flour.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 4 minutes.
- Using the same bowl, rub down the inside with the butter wrapper. Place dough in the bowl and turn a couple times to coat with butter – this prevents the dough from drying out while it proofs. Cover bowl with cling film or a tea towel and set in a warm place to proof for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare Honey Butter filling by mixing together butter, honey, and sugar. Stir until smooth.
- Roll out proofed dough on lightly floured surface and roll out into a rectangle, approximately 10” x 18”.
- Spread filling evenly over dough. Tightly roll up dough from long edge and pinch edges together to secure.
- Slice into 12 equal-sized buns and place into well-greased 9X13 pan.
- Cover pan and let proof again for 20 minutes while you heat your oven to 375°F.
- Remove cover and bake for 25 minutes, or until just golden brown. Be careful not to overbake these, as they will continue to cook in the pan as they cool.
- While the buns are cooling, make the honey glaze. In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, honey, and water until smooth.
- Two options for glazing buns: while they are still very warm for a thinner glazed bun, or when they are almost cool for an iced bun.
