| Yield: | 12 cinnamon buns |
Ingredients
- Canola oil spray
- 1 store-bought pizza dough
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 orange, juiced and zested
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish well with canola oil spray.
- Remove the pizza dough from the fridge, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Place the cherries into a bowl of warm water and let them reconstitute, about 5 minutes. Drain all the water from the cherries and add to the bowl the brown sugar, pecans, walnuts, butter, cinnamon, flour and salt. Stir all until combined.
- Place the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a large rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Spread the filling over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Next, roll the dough the same way you would a jellyroll, from one end to the other. Trim off the ends and cut into 12 equal slices. Place the rolls into the baking dish so that there are 3 on the short side and 4 on the long side. Place the rolls into the oven and cook until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Add the confectioners’ sugar, orange juice and zest and vanilla extract to a bowl and stir well to combine. When the rolls come out of the oven, drizzle them with the glaze immediately and let cool for 10 minutes.

This is the BEST sticky buns every and so easy! ITs the cherries…
Very easy, quick and very good.
Fantastic!! Big Daddy is tops!!!
Excellent and easy to do. I was able to get my 14 and 8 year old girls involved in helping out. Perhaps we didn’t have the right pizza dough because our rolls ended up being more filling than dough. I might use two pizza doughs or a different brand next time. Certainly a do again.
awesome, making them for the 2nd time, didnt use orange icing, used brown butter w/honey, and let the buns cook in this sticky bottom, really sticky buns!
I really enjoyed watching Aaron making this recipe it is something my younges son can make..i just printed the recipe so i can make them one day during the week.
