 Cinnamon Sticky Bun

Cinnamon Sticky Bun Recipe. The knotty Pine bakery was making load after load of Cinnamon Buns and I had to try do taste tests to see if they were consistent with the original recipe. I must say they are first class and now see why they sold out daily. If you are baking inspired this recipe if followed correctly will give you some blue ribbon winning sticky buns
Ingredients needed.
Dough
3 cups milk
6 tbsp. butter
6 tbsp.. plus 1 tsp (5ml) granulated sugar
1 tbsp. salt
½ cup luke warm water
2 envelopes active dry yeast
2 large eggs
9 cups fresh sifted all-purpose flour
Filling
¾ cup melted butter
1¼ cups granulated sugar
3 tbsp. cinnamon

Method.
Scald Milk. Stir in butter, 6 tbsp. sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm.
Dissolve remaining 1 tsp sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over water mixture. Let stand in a warm place for 10 minutes. Stir.
In a large mixing bowl, combine lukewarm milk mixture with eggs. Stir in dissolved yeast mixture.
Add four to five cups of the flour and beat well for 10 minutes. With a wooden spoon, gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Turn out on to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, adding additional flour as needed. This is a soft dough!
Place dough in a well-greased bowl and roll around to grease all sides of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about one hour.
Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half.
To fill, roll out each piece of dough into a 9 x 18-inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup of melted butter evenly onto each rectangle.
Combine sugar and cinnamon for filling. Sprinkle onto the rectangles. Roll dough up like a jelly roll, starting from the long side. Cut into 2-inch slices.
Place remaining ¼ cup of melted butter into the bottom of a 16½ x 11½ x 2½-inch pan. Arrange slices in the pan and cover loosely with greased wax paper.
Let rise in pan until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350.
Bake for 35-40 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately invert onto a serving tray.
Nearly 80 years the pillowy softness and caramelized Cinnamon Bun is a quintessential part of paste tastes we once all enjoyed.
