directions

For the Bread Dough:
- Arrange flour, oats and salt in a pile on a work surface.
- Make a well in the centre and pour in the water.
- Sprinkle the yeast over it and then the honey, oil, milk powder and zest.
- Slowly start to bring the flour mixture into the water and yeast mixture until all of the liquid has been absorbed and a dough begins to form.
- Knead for 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place in a well-oiled bowl; turn dough to coat and then cover with a kitchen towel.
- Place in a warm spot and let rise for 1 hour, until it doubles in size.
-
For the Buns:
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Pour sugar into a 12-inch skillet and pour in an equal amount of water.
- Bring to a boil and let the sugar dissolve without stirring it.
- As the water begins to evaporate, the sugar will begin to caramelize.
- When it has reached a golden brown colour, add the butter and whisk until it is smooth and thickened.
- Let cool in the pan.
- Put the risen dough on a cutting board and punch it back.
- Roll it out into a log and slice into 12 pieces.
- Place the slices in the caramel pan so that they are just barely touching and set aside to rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes and then invert onto a serving dish.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am newly married, and adjusting to the wifey way. I am just starting my own kitchen, and slowly purchasing wonderful utensils and appliances so I can add to my cooking knowledge. My DH is a willing participant to my cooking, and will eat anything I place in front of him, even if I mess it up.
In our house, we have a weird mix of food cultures. My DH is a southern boy, born and bred in Virginia State, while I am a good ol canadian girl raised in toronto. It has allowed us to bring together both values, tradition and food cultures to make a great mix!
