Now, this def took two days in the blkandvegan lab brainstorming/researching how to make the perfect honey bun and it payed off!!! I am smiling just typing this – so simple, yet SO GOOD. I know honey is against the rules – so I swapped it out for agave instead and sweet baby Jesus it worked!!! SAY HELLO TO MY BABIES! here’s how:

- Section off the dough into 1/2 cup sections and roll it with your hands into a long line (like a worm)
- Once completed, hold the edge of one end and twist the dough into a sticky bun shape – a long U curl making sure to leave enough room while looping so the sections don’t touch
- Leave in a warm place covered for 30 minutes
- Once they have risen – pop them in the oven for 25-30 minutes and glaze with 1 tbs of glaze each
