INGREDIENTS
- 1sweet roll dough(see Fantastic Sweet Dough)
-
SYRUP
- 1cupdark corn syrup
- 1/2cuphoney
- 1/2cupdark brown sugar
- 1/3cupbutter
-
FILLING
- 1/2cupbrown sugar
- 1/2cupwhite sugar
- 1tablespooncinnamon(or to taste)
- 1/8teaspoonginger powder
- 1/2cup softenedbutter(can use a little more)
- 1cupraisinsor choppednuts(can use more if desired)
DIRECTIONS
- Lighty grease a metal 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Prepare sweet dough recipe as directed.
- In a small bowl mix together 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and ginger powder; set aside.
- While the dough is rising prepare the syrup by combining all syrup ingredients in a small saucepan; heat over medium heat stirring with wooden spoon until butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved; pour HALF of the syrup mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, spreading out with a spoon to cover evenly; set aside the remaining half to drizzle on top of buns later.
- When the dough has finished rising punch dough, remove from bowl onto lightly floured surface; cover dough and let rest 5 minutes before rolling out (this will allow for easier shaping and rolling).
- Roll out into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle (does not have to meaure exactly).
- Spread 1/2 cup softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with prepared sugar/cinnamon mixure evenly over the butter.
- Scatter the raisins over evenly.
- Roll up dough jell-roll style starting at the long side, then pinch dough together along the top to seal.
- Using a serrated knife cut into 12 even slices.
- Place the slices cut side down on top of the syrup (3 across the pan and 4 down).
- Drizzle the remaining syrup of the top of each slice of dough.
- Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise for 30-50 minutes or until doubled (the rising time will depend on what dough recipe you are using and the temperature of the room).
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
