Directions:In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium low just until small bubbles begin to form around the edges of the pan; remove from heat. Add butter and stir until it is completely melted; let mixture cool while you mix your dry ingrediants. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine 2 1/2 cups of flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add the egg and the almond/butter mixture; mix well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Allow your mixer to run on medium speed for about 5 minutes after all of the flour has been added. Cover the dough with a warm, damp cloth and let rest in a warm room for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon and softened butter. Once dough has risen, roll out dough into a very large rectangle (about 15 x 9) and spread the entire surface of the dough with the butter/sugar mixture. Tightly roll up the dough and pinch the seams to seal. Using floss (just slide a piece underneath, lift it over, then pull to make nice, even slices) oir a knife, cut the roll into 12 equal size pieces and place, cut side up, in a lightly greased baking dish or pie plate. Cover again with a warm, damp cloth, and let rise for another 30 minutes. While they are rising, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Once risen, bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly browned on the tops and edges. Allow buns to cool a few minutes, then sprinkle with almonds, top with icing and serve!
For the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, almond extract and almond milk. Drizzle over warm buns. |
