Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Egg
• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup Erythritol (sugar substitute)
• 1/4 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to steam. Remove from heat, add 1/4 cup of butter, and stir until melted. Allow to cool until lukewarm.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm milk mixture with the yeast. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is frothy.

Step 3

Add the salt, egg, 1/3 cup erythritol, and 1/4 cup of honey to the yeast mixture. Mix well.

Step 4

Gradually add the whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 7

Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface once again and roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 12x14 inches in size.

Step 8

Spread 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the surface of the dough.

Step 9

Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the honey-coated dough.

Step 10

Roll the dough tightly into a log starting from the longer side. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.

Step 11

Place each piece onto the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, ensuring space between each bun.

Step 12

Cover with a towel and let rise for an additional 20 minutes.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top.

Step 14

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over the warm buns to give them a glossy finish.

Step 15

Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free honey buns!
