Honey Coconut Sticky Buns

By bweber

These sticky buns topped with toasted shredded sweet coconut adds a wonderful flavor and nice crunch.

Ingredients

• 1 loaf (1-pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
• 4 ounces (1/2-cup) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sweetened coconut, shredded
• 3 tablespoons thawed orange juice concentrate
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup honey

Preparation

Step 1

Grease two 8-inch round baking pans. Cut thawed bread dough in half; roll each half into a 10x8-inch rectangle. Combine cream cheese, coconut and orange juice concentrate; spread mixture on dough. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with long side. Cut each roll crosswise into eight slices; place in prepared pans. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise until almost doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a microwave, melt butter and honey. Spoon 1 tablespoon butter-honey mixture over each bun.

Bake until tops are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Immediately invert onto a serving plate. If desired, top with toasted coconut.
