Cinnamon Sticky Buns

Instructions

1. To make dough, pour the milk into the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir in the yeast and brown sugar and let stand 5 minutes.

2. With the paddle attachment, beat in flour, all the softened butter, the eggs, cinnamon and the salt until blended. Gradually mix in enough additional flour to make a soft dough.

3. Replace the paddle attachment with the dough hook, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a buttered large bowl and turn to coat the dough with butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in the refrigerator overnight.

4. To make filling, mix together brown sugar, sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

5. To make the topping, mix the brown sugar, honey and melted butter in a small bowl. Stir in the rum. Set the topping aside.

6. To make rolls, punch down the dough. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/3-inch thick. Sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough and press it into the dough with a rolling pin.

7. Starting at one long edge, roll up the dough as tightly as possible like a jelly roll. Lightly butter the sides of a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
