1 cup warm whole milk warm the milk to temperature of your fingers
2 ¼ tsp yeast (1 package)
⅓ cup Buzz Savories artisanal honey
2 large eggs
⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt

Filling

½ cup brown sugar
½ cup Buzz Savories artisanal honey
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

Glaze

3 Tbs. Buzz Savories artisanal honey
2 tsp. water (as needed to spread the powdered sugar and honey mixture)
1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast and honey. Let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture forms bubbles on top indicating the yeast is working.
1 cup warm whole milk, 2 ¼ tsp yeast (1 package), ⅓ cup Buzz Savories artisanal honey
Add the eggs and melted butter and stir until well mixed.
2 large eggs, ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
In a separate bowl combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well mixed then knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. salt
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
At this juncture in the recipe, you may choose to refrigerate the dough after the mixing and kneading process. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours if desired. Take out of the refrigerator and allow the dough to return to room temperature and double in size - approximately 2 hours.

Filling

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. and grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and honey. Mix.
½ cup Buzz Savories artisanal honey, 2 tsp. ground cinnamon, ½ cup brown sugar
Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with melted butter over the dough.
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
With the flat side of a knife or spatula spread the filling over the dough.
Roll the dough tightly, starting from the long side and cut into 12 equal slices.
Place the buns in the prepared baking pan and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Glaze

In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, honey and water to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm buns.
3 Tbs. Buzz Savories artisanal honey, 2 tsp. water (as needed to spread the powdered sugar and honey mixture), 1 cup powdered sugar
Serve warm accompanied with drink of choice or dessert served with fruit. These buns are best served warm and fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for 2 days.
