These buns are legendary - and huge! Soft, fluffy, and somewhere between sweet bread and pastry, brown sugar all crispy and caramelized , they take a little longer than your usual cinnamon buns, both in preparation and cooking time, but trust us - they are worth every second of it. You'll need to make the dough the night before you want to eat them.

Instructions

The night before

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and sugar. Crack eggs into a small bowl and whisk.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of your flour mixture and drop in (approximately) tablespoon-sized pieces of butter until 1 cup of butter is added. Add eggs and 1 3/4 cups of water. In a large mixer with a dough hook, or using your hands, mix dough. Bring dough together roughly and then knead. The dough should be quite wet and sticky. If it seems too dry, add up to 1/4 cup more water.

Step 3

Knead for about 5 minutes, until dough is fairly smooth. It doesn't have to be perfect; the yeast will do a lot of the work for you. Lightly oil a bowl, and transfer dough to it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in the fridge overnight.

In the morning

Step 4

In the morning, remove the dough from the fridge. Allow it to sit for about 1 hour and come to room temperature.

Step 5

Grease a large baking dish or baking sheet with butter.

Step 6

Melt 1/2 cup of butter on the stovetop or in the microwave. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a large bowl.

Step 7

Split dough into 6 pieces of about 12 oz each. Roll each piece of dough into a long log. Dip in melted butter, covering completely. Then dip butter-covered dough in sugar and cinnamon mixture. The dough will be soft, so it may stretch out into a longer snake. That is fine.

Step 8

Tie the piece of dough into a knot, tucking extra pieces underneath. Dip the top of the knot into the cinnamon mixture one more time and place bun in the buttered pan. Repeat until all 6 are made.

Step 9

Turn the oven to 325°F (162°C) and place buns on top of the oven to allow them to rise for 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 10

Bake for 50 minutes. Insert a skewer into the centre of a bun to test doneness. If it comes out clean, the buns are done. If it is a bit wet, bake them for 5 more minutes. Allow them to cool and enjoy.
