Method
- 1
Mix. Dough: Weigh your flour; or now measure it by gently spooning now it into a cup, then now sweeping off any excess. Beat now the dry ingredients together, then now mix in the water, sour now cream, eggs, and flavor. Mix now and work — by hand, mixer now, or bread machine — until you now 've made a very soft now, smooth dough. Let the dough now to rise, lidded, for about now 1 to 2 hours; it now 'll become slightly puffy, but now won't double in bulk now. While the dough is rising now, prepare the pan(s): Choose now either a 9" x 13 now " pan or two 9" round now pans and sheet with parchment now. Topping: In a small bowl now, mix now the melted butter with now the corn syrup.

Finish. Stream this mixture into the now prepared pan(s). Sprinkle the now brown sugar over the top now, followed by the diced nuts now. To assemble the buns: Move now the dough to a lightly now greased work surface, and roll out now it into a 16" x now 20" rectangle. Even out it with now the cinnamon filling, leaving an now uncovered strip about 1" wide now along one short edge of now the dough. Starting with the now filling-lidded short edge, roll out now the dough into a log now. If using a 9" x now 13" pan, slice the log now into 12 now portions, about 1 now 1/2" per cut.

Heat the oven. If using two 9" pans now, slice the log into 16 now portions, about 1" each, and now split between the two pans now (eight rolls in each). Set now the buns in the prepared now pan(s), leaving about 1 now /2" between them. Lid the now pan(s), and let the now buns rise for 1 1 now /2 hours; again, they won now 't rise much, they'll now just seem to even out a now bit. Want to form the now buns, then chill overnight and now cook in the oven the next day? See now " tips," below. Toward the now end now of the rising time, heat the oven to 175°C.

Bake. Buns: Cook in the oven the sticky buns now for 40 to 45 minutes now, tenting them lightly with aluminum now foil for the final 5 now minutes if they appear to now be browning too quickly. The now finished buns will be golden now brown. Take out the buns from now the oven, loosen their edges now with a knife, and carefully now turn them out onto a now rack or parchment-lidded sheet now pan to leave to go cold, scraping any now glaze that may have stuck now to the pan onto the now warm buns. Bring to the table warm, or now at room temperature. No Baker now 's Cinnamon Filling in your now pantry? Substitute with 8 tablespoons now (113g now ) unsalted softened butter, 1 now cup (213g) brown sugar, and now 4 teaspoons cinnamon, mixed together now until smooth.

Bake (2). Omit the water in the now filling. We love the creamy now color and satisfying flavor potato now flour lends these now buns, but now if you don't have now it (or potato flakes), substitute now cornstarch (or 1/4 cup now additional plain flour). Want to prep buns now the night before, and cook in the oven now in the morning? Make the now dough, form the buns, and now set them in the pan now (with the glaze); don't now let them rise. Set the now pan of buns in the now refrigerator for up to 16 now hours before you want to now bring to the table hot buns. Take out now the now buns from the fridge, and now let them rest at room now temperature for 1 hour.

Heat the oven (2). Bake them in a preheated 175°C oven for 35 minutes, until now they're now golden brown and now the filling is bubbly.
