Cream Cheese Glazed Sticky Buns
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- For the dough:
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1/2 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- For the filling:
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- For the cream cheese glaze:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 package of yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, softened butter, salt, egg, and 2 cups of flour. Add the yeast mixture and mix well. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch the dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 12x10-inch rectangle. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon; spread over dough. Sprinkle with nuts if desired. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices.
- Place the slices cut side down in a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the buns are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until creamy. Gradually add enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm buns. Serve and enjoy!
Sticky buns with a cream cheese glaze have a rich history dating back to the 18th century. This delectable treat is believed to have originated in Germany before making its way to the United States with German immigrants. The sticky buns are made with a sweet, buttery dough, filled with cinnamon, sugar, and pecans, then baked to golden perfection. The cream cheese glaze adds a delightful tangy sweetness that perfectly complements the sticky buns. Chefs across the country have put their own spin on this classic, but some of the best versions can be found in renowned bakeries in Philadelphia, where the sticky buns are a beloved breakfast staple. To make the perfect sticky buns with a cream cheese glaze, it's crucial to get the dough just right, ensuring it's soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. Alternatively, some bakers opt for a quicker method using store-bought dough, which can yield equally delicious results. Whether you're indulging in a classic recipe or a modern twist, sticky buns with a cream cheese glaze are a true delight for any sweet tooth.
