Best Cinnamon Nut Buns Recipes

CINNAMON-NUT BUNS

Steps:

• Butter two 13-by-9-inch baking pans. In a food processor, combine brown sugar, nuts, chocolate, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until coarsely ground; set nut mixture aside.
• Divide dough in half. Working with one half at a time (keep the other half covered with plastic wrap), roll dough out to a 16-by-10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Spread 4 tablespoons butter over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle half the nut mixture over butter. Leave a border around the filling so it doesn't seep out. Starting at a long end, roll up dough like a jellyroll; with a sharp knife, cut crosswise into 12 equal pieces.
• Place buns, cut side down, in prepared pans. Cover pans loosely with plastic; let stand in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Bake buns until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through. Let cool 15 minutes.
• Prepare glaze: In a small saucepan, heat brown sugar, butter, and water over medium, stirring, until simmering; cook 1 minute. Drizzle glaze over buns; let stand 10 minutes before serving.

GLAZED CINNAMON NUT BUNS

Steps:

• 1. Night before (about 10:00 p.m.) Remove dough from freezer and plastic bag. Place in a medium-size bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Set out to thaw and rise overnight. 2. In the morning (about 7:30 a.m.) Prepare a clean work surface and dust lightly with flour. (I use the countertop or a cutting board.) Punch down dough and roll out to a 10" x 12" rectangle. 3. Evenly spread corn syrup across dough. Coat an 8" x 8" baking dish with cooking spray. 4. Mix sugar, cinnamon, and nuts together in a 1 cup measuring cup and sprinkle across dough. 5. Begin to roll up, starting on the long side, to form a long cylinder. Pinch the seams together to seal. Cut roll into 9 equal slices and place in baking dish with spirals facing up and sides touching. 6. Preheat oven to 350° 7. Cover rolls with a kitchen towel and allow to sit on top of the stove for 45 minutes to 1 hour while the oven preheats to 350°. The warmth of the oven will help facilitate the 2nd rise. (I use this time to grab a shower!) 8. About 8:45 or 9:00 a.m. Place in oven to bake 15 to 17 minutes. Meanwhile, scramble eggs and slice fresh fruit. Cool the rolls 5 minutes before removing from pan. 9. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a small cup. Transfer rolls to serving platter. Drizzle with glaze. 10. About 9:15 a.m. Serve with scrambled eggs and fresh fruit, and watch your guests' eyes pop!! MENU: Glazed Cinnamon Nut Buns Scrambled Eggs Sliced Fresh Fruit
