S’mores Sticky Buns with Bread Machine Dough

S’mores Sticky Buns with Bread Machine Dough are our new favorite morning treat. I make the dough for these buns in my bread machine, so the hands on time is less than thirty minutes. When the dough comes out of the machine, it is so soft and pliable. So, it’s a cinch to roll out. Then, the dough gets covered in softened butter, dark chocolate, marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs. After a second rise, the buns bake in the oven for twenty five minutes. And, that’s it. The s’mores filling is so rich and delicious, that no topping is needed.

The Equipment I Used

A Bread Machine- You will need a bread machine for this recipe.
A Food Processor- It’s not essential, but I used my food processor to crush up the graham cracker crumbs.
A Food Scale- For fool proof baking, I recommend weighing your flour and sugar for this recipe.

The Ingredients Needed for S’mores Sticky Buns with Bread Machine Dough

Bread Flour- This recipe calls for bread flour.
Milk- Use whole milk.
Yeast- Make sure you use active dry yeast.
Chocolate- I used Ghiradelli 60 percent dark baking bars. But, if you want sweeter filling, try using milk chocolate, or semisweet chocolate.
Graham Crackers- You’ll need to crush them until they’re finely ground.

How I Made my Sticky Buns

First, I carefully weighed and measured all of my ingredients. I was very careful, because I knew any mistakes could ruin my dough.
Next, I let the bread machine do all the work of heating my ingredients, kneading the dough, and rising the dough.
Then, I rolled out the dough and spread it with the fillings.
Next, I let the buns rise again and then baked them.
Finally, I let them cool for just a few minutes, and then served them up.

Ingredients

For the S'mores Sticky Buns

6 tbsp. unsalted butter, sliced
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp. salt
½ cup white sugar (100g)
4 cups bread flour (480g)
2½ tsp. active dry yeast

For the S'mores filling:

8 tbsp. softened butter
6 ounces 60 percent dark chocolate, chopped
1½ cups mini marshmallows
¾ cup finely ground graham crackers

For the Egg Wash:

1 egg yolk
1 tsp. water

Instructions

In a bread machine add all the dough ingredients, in the dough suggested by your manufacturer. Process on the dough cycle.
When the dough cycle is done, roll the dough into a 20 by 12 inch rectangle on a large floured board. Spread the dough with the butter and then sprinkle with the graham cracker crumbs. Gently press the crumbs into the butter, and then sprinkle on the marshmallows and chocolate.
Roll up the twenty inch side into a log, and then cut it into 12 equal slices. Grease a 13 by 9 non stick metal baking dish with softened butter, and place the dough slices into the pan. Cover the pan and let the buns rise in a warm place for thirty minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. When the buns are done rising, beat the egg wash together and brush it all over the bun tops and sides. Bake them for 25 minutes or until they're golden brown. Serve warm.
