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.
