BUTTERSCOTCH BREAKFAST BUNS

Steps:

• For the Bread Dough:.
• Arrange flour, oats and salt in a pile on a work surface.
• Make a well in the centre and pour in the water.
• Sprinkle the yeast over it and then the honey, oil, milk powder and zest.
• Slowly start to bring the flour mixture into the water and yeast mixture until all of the liquid has been absorbed and a dough begins to form.
• Knead for 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Place in a well-oiled bowl; turn dough to coat and then cover with a kitchen towel.
• Place in a warm spot and let rise for 1 hour, until it doubles in size.
• For the Buns:.
• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Pour sugar into a 12-inch skillet and pour in an equal amount of water.
• Bring to a boil and let the sugar dissolve without stirring it.
• As the water begins to evaporate, the sugar will begin to caramelize.
• When it has reached a golden brown colour, add the butter and whisk until it is smooth and thickened.
• Let cool in the pan.
• Put the risen dough on a cutting board and punch it back.
• Roll it out into a log and slice into 12 pieces.
• Place the slices in the caramel pan so that they are just barely touching and set aside to rise again for about 30 minutes.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes and then invert onto a serving dish.
