Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (approx. 13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly bubbly. Remove from heat and pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the caramel mixture in the pan.
On a lightly floured surface, unroll the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle (approximately 10x15 inches).
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave or on the stovetop and brush it evenly over the dough.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting at one of the longer edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Slice the log into 8 equal pieces. Place each piece, cut-side up, into the prepared pan on top of the caramel and almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Place a large plate or serving tray over the pan and carefully invert the sticky buns onto the plate. Be cautious of hot caramel!
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Almond Sticky Buns!
