Ingredients
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
Filling
1/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 package refrigerated pizza dough (450-g)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F. Oil a 9 x 9-in. square baking pan (metal or glass).
Boil 1/2 cup brown sugar with 1/4 cup butter and honey in a saucepan over medium heat, without stirring, for 2 min. Pour into prepared pan so bottom is evenly coated. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup walnuts.
Stir 1/4 cup brown sugar with cranberries, 1/2 cup walnuts, 2 tablespoon butter, zests and spices in a bowl. Roll dough out on a floured counter into a 12 x 14-in. rectangle.
Sprinkle dough with cranberry mixture. Beginning at a short side, roll up dough to make a tight roll. Using a serrated knife, cut roll into 9 pieces. Place each roll, cut side down, in caramel coating.
Bake, uncovered, in bottom third of oven until deep golden brown, 25 to 30 min. Remove from oven and let stand about 5 min. Cover pan with a large plate. Then carefully flip buns onto plate. Spoon topping left in pan back over buns.
