Learn how to make Sticky Maple Walnut Morning Buns, from my NEW baking cookbook, Bigger Bolder Baking Every Day, are made with flakey, buttery Danish Dough and chock full of toasted nuts and cinnamon ...

When the buns are done, set the pan on a wire rack and immediately brush with the glaze. Cool for 10 minutes. Using the parchment sling, lift the buns from the pan and set directly on the rack.

About 1 hour into rising, in a small bowl, beat the egg for the wash until well combined; set aside. In another small bowl, combine the flour and 2½ tablespoons water; whisk until smooth.

Fragogiannis also uses the buns for sandwiches — meatball subs, cold cuts, and ham and cheese are all fair game. “At the end of the day, it’s bread,” he says.
