CINNAMON ROLL STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, and cinnamon for dough in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
• Combine milk, sugar, and salt in a microwaveable bowl; microwave on high in 1-minute increments until very warm, but not hot to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add milk mixture to the dry ingredients; mix on low speed until combined. Add melted butter; mix until well combined. Mix in eggs until incorporated.
• Scrape the paddle attachment and switch to the dough hook. Mix in the remaining flour until dough is fairly easy to handle. Turn out into an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place over a bowl of hot (not boiling) water and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down and turn out onto a floured surface. Roll into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with cinnamon, and finally brown sugar. Roll up the rectangle jelly roll-style and cut into 12 equal parts. Place the rolls flat on a parchment-covered cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Don't worry if they don't touch, they will continue to rise when baking.
• While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining softened butter. Serve hot.

MUM'S BUNS AND CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Melt shortening or lard and set aside. In a large bowl put the sugar and salt and add warm water to dissolve.
• 2. Add melted shortening and yeast mixture and stir. Start adding flour 2 cups at a time until too stiff to stir by hand.
• 3. Use hands to work more flour in. Turn onto floured surface and knead until a soft, smooth dough is formed.
• 4. Put into greased and floured bowl to rise. Cover dough with wax paper and a clean tea towel in warm place, out of drafts.
• 5. When doubled in size or more, take enough dough to put into the pans you are using (muffin tins, small loaf pans, etc.). Place the dough in a separate bowl or on a piece of wax paper. Recover remaining dough.
• 6. Stretch a handful of dough from main ball, twisting it off of main ball with hands (it's an acquired technique my mom kinda perfected lol). Dough will fall slightly with air and handling. *I found a photo that sort of explains how this is done. I can tell you that Mum had her dough sitting in a roasting pan on the table and she didn't stretch it that much. She sort of attacked it from one end and kept going.
• 7. Put dough in pans to rise again (covering with tea towel).
• 8. When risen, bake 15 - 20 mins. in 350 - 400°F (depending on oven). Remove from pans and cool.
• 9. Cinnamon Rolls: Mum also made cinnamon rolls with this dough. She always made enough dough to make both these and buns.
• 10. Roll out dough in a large square. Brush dough with melted butter or margarine, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar.
• 11. Roll entire pastry loosly into a long tube. Herein lies the trick - mum never cut these into individual rolls with a knife because it buckled the dough. She would take a piece of butcher string and put it under the dough, bring up the ends, cross the string and pull, thus cutting the dough. She could cut a dozen rolls in super speed lol
• 12. Then lay them side by side in a pan large enough to hold them and bake as above. Mum always made 1 big cake pan full of these when she made buns. She never put icing on them. The brown sugar made a sticky and very tasty bun :)

MOM-MOM'S STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water in a large bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes. Stir flour, eggs, warm milk, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, and salt into the yeast and water until the mixture is a moist and sticky dough.
• Put dough in a greased bowl and cover with a wet towel. Set aside in a warm place until dough doubles in size and holes poked into dough with a finger stay indented, about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Stir brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, honey, and corn syrup together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Pour the topping mixture into the bottom of 2 9x13-inch non-stick baking dishes. Sprinkle 1 cup raisins and walnuts evenly onto the topping mixture.
• Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle shape 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick.
• Brush 1/4 cup melted butter over the dough rectangle. Stir 3/4 cup white sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the butter. Sprinkle 1 cup raisins evenly over the dough. Roll dough around the filling into a cylinder; cut into 3/4-inch slices and arrange into the baking dishes. Set aside to rest for 20 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in preheated oven until no longer doughy in the middle, about 25 minutes. Immediately flip onto a serving platter, transferring topping onto rolls, and serve warm.

MOM'S BUNS

Steps:

• In a very large mixing bowl, add the sugar, oil and salt into the boiling water. let cool to lukewarm, then stir in eggs. If you think the water may to too hot for the eggs, temper them by putting the them into a small dish and very slowing pour about 1/4 c of the water on to them stirring with a fork the whole time. When mixed, pour them into the sugar/water mixture.
• In a separate bowl, stir the flour and yeast together, them add to the water mixture about 2 cups at a time. Exact measurements will vary, but the dough should be soft, not sticky.
• Dump the dough onto a lightly oiled cookie sheet and knead the dough. Clean and oil the large bowl it was in, put the dough in and brush with oil. Let is rise in a warm place (the oven - shut off, but with light on is a good spot) until doubled.
• Punch down, let rise until double again.
• Shape into buns and place into well oiled pans.
• Let rise, bake @ 350 for 20-25 min's until brown.
• Brush with butter when baked.
• This is a very large batch and can be halved. It is also a great dough for cinnamon buns and pizzas if you have some left over.

MOM'S AIR BUNS (ROLLS)

Steps:

• Mix the 1/2 cup warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar, and allow to proof.
• Melt the lard, and mix in sugar, salt, vinegar, and warm water. When body warm, add the proofed yeast, and beat in 1 1/2 cups flour. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Knead in approximately 3 cups more flour.
• Let dough rise till double (approximately 2 hours).
• Deflate dough, and form into buns, any size, (I make 16 large) or loaves. Rise till double (takes approximately one hour, but depends on size/shape chosen).
• Bake buns at 350°F for approximately 20 minutes.
• For ABM, in my machine, on the "dough" cycle, I use 2 teaspoons of bread machine yeast, and I reduce the water to about 1 1/2 cups, the flour to 4 cups, adding a tad more water or flour as it kneads to get a smooth,soft ball of dough. I leave the other ingredients as posted.

CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• Combine the water and milk in a medium saucepan and warm over low heat until it is about 100 degrees F (but no more than 110 degrees). Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast over the surface over the liquid. Sprinkle a pinch of the sugar over the top and set aside without stirring, until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk the butter, egg yolk and vanilla into the yeast mixture.
• Whisk the flour, the sugar, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon to make a thick and slightly sticky dough. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape into a ball.
• Brush the inside of a large bowl with butter. Put dough in the buttered bowl, turning to coat lightly with butter. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, trace a circle the size of the dough on the plastic, and note the time. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Turn dough out of the bowl and knead briefly to release excess air; reform into a ball and return to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap and lay it on the dough. Cover the entire bowl tightly with plastic and proof in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
• To fill and form the rolls: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Turn prepared dough onto a floured work surface and press, then roll into 10-by-18-inch rectangle, with a long edge facing you. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about an inch border on the side opposite you. Evenly scatter the cinnamon-sugar over the butter. Starting from the long side facing you, roll the dough up into a tight cylinder. Lightly brush the clean edge of the dough with water. Press the open long edge to the dough to seal the cylinder.
• Slip a long taut piece of string or dental floss under the roll, about 1 1/2 inches from the end. Lift and cross the string ends over the roll, then pull the ends tightly in opposite directions to cut a single roll. Repeat, cutting every 1 1/2 inches, to make 12 rolls. Place the rolls cut-side-down in the prepared pan, leaving 1 inch of space between them. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place to rise until rolls double in size, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Bake buns until golden brown and the tops of the buns spring back when pressed lightly, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
• To make the glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Whisk in the condensed milk, butter, and lemon juice to make a smooth, slightly loose icing. Add the vanilla and cinnamon. Drizzle the icing over warm buns. Serve.
