Instructions
Make the Sweet Dough:
- In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add entire package of Hand + Heart Gluten Free Sweet Dough Mix and yeast packets. Whisk to combine.
- Add warmed milk, melted butter and eggs in the bowl and mix with a spatula until the dry and wet ingredients are well incorporated.
- Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes, stopping mid way to scrape sides and bottom of the bowl. Dough will be sticky but smooth.
- Transfer dough into a lightly oiled medium bowl and cover with a plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight so dough stiffens and it is easier to handle.
Make the topping:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- If using whole walnuts, chop into smaller pieces.
- Place in a baking pan and toast the walnuts in 350ºF oven for 5-8 min stirring hallway to prevent from burning. Set aside.
- In a small sauce pan, add the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter and corn syrup. Set in medium heat and stir until is dissolved and butter is melted. Simmer for 2 min and remove from the heat. Pour into a 9 x 13 inch casserole pan and spread toasted walnuts evenly. Set aside to cool.
Shape the Cinnamon Buns:
- On a floured silicone rolling mat using gluten-free flour, gently knead the dough into a smooth ball.
- Roll out to 18 x 10 inch, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Mix filling ingredients together in a small bowl and spread evenly on dough.
- Roll up from the longest side and pinch seam. Flip over so the seam is down and cut using a knife or bench scraper. Cut into 12 medium rolls.
Assemble the sticky buns:
- Place rolls into the 9 x 13 inch casserole pan cut buns flat side down in 3 rows of 4 buns. Cover with plastic wrap.
- Let rise in a warm, draft-free area until almost doubled in size. About 1 to 1 ½ hours.
Bake the sticky buns:
- Once risen, bake for 25 – 30 minutes until top is golden brown.
- Let sit on a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before inverting into a serving platter. Scrape remaining topping from the pan unto the buns.
