Notes

For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough. These sticky buns are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
