Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Low-fat milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm (about 100°F). Pour the warm milk into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and begins to foam.

Step 2

Add honey, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the milk mixture, stirring until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition, until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and transfer to a floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle about 12x16 inches.

Step 7

Spread softened butter over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border on the edges. Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the butter.

Step 8

Starting from the longer side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 even pieces.

Step 9

Arrange the sliced dough pieces in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover with a towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the buns for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and water in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 12

After baking, remove the buns from the oven and drizzle the glaze over the top while they are still warm.

Step 13

Let the buns cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade low sodium honey buns!
