1/3 cup honey

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Buns

1 cup unsalted butter room temp

1 cup dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons cinnamon

2 teaspoon grated nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Master dough recipe chilled

AP flour for dusting

1 large egg

2 Each FITCRUNCH Cinnamon Twist bars diced into small pieces

Maldon Sea Salt

 

Using a food processor pulse 1/2 of the fit fuel bar, butter, sugar and spices including salt until well blended and smooth.

Punch down the dough and roll out on a floured surface until its 1/4 inch thick and is a rectangle in shape. Spread the fit fuel sugar mixture over the dough and sprinkle 3/4 cups of the nuts on top.

Roll the dough to form a log, keeping it tight and pinching the seam to seal the roll. Cut into 9 even pieces. Place the buns in the pan with the topping spacing each roll out equally so they do not touch. Let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour to proof.

Whisk eggs in a small bowl and brush the buns and bake at 350 degrees in the center of the oven. Use aluminum if the dough begins to darken to much. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until internal temp of the dough is 185 degrees.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, add any remaining glaze over the top, add the remainder of the pecans, the diced fit fuel bars and let cool completely before removing them from the pan.
