Enjoy These Cannabis Cinnamon Buns


By Anthony Washington, The Fresh Toast

 

Want to wake up to an extra special breakfast? Try this marijuana breakfast treat!

During the 1985 holiday season, food history was made with the first Cinnabon® Bakery in the SeaTac Mall in Seattle, Washington. Thousands of eager customers waited to try the original Cinnabon® cinnamon roll and it became instant obsession.  A father and son took the sugar, sticky breakfast treat and put it out for the world.  This was the second big change for the bun, the canned cinnamon rolls premiered in 1956, changing weekend mornings for millions of households. The marriage of breakfast and dessert is a great way to start a special morning, but if you want something extra special, enjoy these cannabis cinnamon buns this weekend!

This recipe give you a chance to spices since you don’t have to use strictly cinnamon; adding other zippy spices to the mix like ginger, clove, lemon, and cardamom make things more interesting. Copious amounts of butter and sugar and THC are all supporting roles for some of the best buns around.

Filling

¾ cup demerara sugar
½ stick unsalted butter, softened
3 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon clove
½ teaspoon cardamom
½ teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of salt

To create the dough, mix in a stand mixer or bread machine until you have a very wet looking blob. A bread machine will do the rising for you, but if you’re not taking that approach, dispense into a well oiled bowl and cover with oiled plastic wrap, allow to rise for at least an hour. It should triple in size and now be a giant fluffy cloud of goodness.

Plop the dough on a floured surface and roll into a sheet. Spread room temperature butter over the sheet, then add all of your delicious spices and sugar.

Roll this sheet into a log, then cut it with a sharp or serrated knife into about 15 slices. Arrange the slices in a square metal or glass baking dish that has been generously greased, then allow to rise again for 45 minutes to an hour.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees when you’re ⅔ of the way through the second rise.

Pop in your pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, keeping close watch.

They will bake up rather quickly so if your oven runs hot drop the temp to 350 degrees. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before digging in.
