Gluten-Free Sticky Buns Recipe
Ingredients:
– 2 1/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 cup warm milk (around 110°F)
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 large egg
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Filling:
– 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
For the Sticky Topping:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by combining the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
7. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll it out into a 12×18 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
8. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture on top.
9. Starting from one long end, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
10. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
11. To make the sticky topping, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, honey or maple syrup, and heavy cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
12. Pour the sticky topping over the buns in the baking dish. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
13. Cover the baking dish with a kitchen towel and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.
14. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
15. Bake the sticky buns for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and caramelized.
16. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these delightful Gluten-Free Sticky Buns warm!
