**Dorothy Walker’s Sticky Rolls**
**Ingredients:**
For the dough:
– 1 cup warm milk
– 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup melted butter
– 2 large eggs
– 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the sticky glaze:
– 1/2 cup butter
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top.
6. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
7. In a saucepan, melt the butter for the sticky glaze. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove from heat.
8. Pour the sticky glaze into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly on the bottom. Place the cinnamon rolls on top of the glaze.
9. Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes.
10. Bake the sticky rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
11. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before inverting the dish onto a serving platter. Serve the sticky rolls warm and enjoy the gooey, decadent sweetness!
