Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pistachios
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the dough: In a bowl, combine warm milk, brown sugar, and yeast; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Stir in melted butter and gradually add flour until mixed.
  2. 2. Knead the dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
  3. 3. Make the filling: Mix chopped nuts with cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  4. 4. Roll out the dough: Punch down risen dough, roll it into a rectangle, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with nut mixture.
  5. 5. Shape the buns: Roll tightly into a log and slice into equal pieces. Place cut-side up in a greased baking dish; let rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. 6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Meanwhile, simmer honey and water to make syrup; drizzle over hot buns before serving.
