Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 3/4 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup OHC Pumpkin Spice Creamed Honey
For the Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons OHC Pumpkin Spice Creamed Honey
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
-
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. -
Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the egg and mix until smooth. Stir in the yeast mixture. -
Add the Flour
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until it’s smooth and elastic. -
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. -
Shape the Buns
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes. -
Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. -
Glaze
While the buns are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together Ontario Honey Creations Pumpkin Spice Creamed Honey, powdered sugar, and milk. Drizzle the glaze over the warm buns.
