I made a couple of changes. I used lemon zest instead of orange zest and honey instead of maple syrup. My dough came together nicely. I realized as I was rolling the dough, most of the doughs I made in the past were kneaded by hand before I owned a Kitchen Aid. With the assistance of the Kitchen Aid, I feel much more confident about my dough making skills.
I had a little trouble telling if these were done. I took them out after about 30 minutes. They did seem a little doughy on the bottom but were golden brown on the top. Maybe the honey was more liquid than the maple syrup would have been?

ReplyDeleteGreat idea to sub honey - I bet the sauce was delicious! Great job on these - they look awesome! I definitely think making dough in a KA is easier at first though sometimes I still knead by hand just for fun :)

Julie,
ReplyDeleteYour sticky buns look so good. I can't wait to try them when I get home. I miss my kitchen, can you believe that?! Also looking forward to starting with Chocolate Ephipany. My cookbook should be waiting for me when I get back to the states.
