Decadent Quick and Easy Sticky Cinnamon Buns in our Deep Baking Plate
I grew up in a family of bakers. Every Saturday morning without fail we’d wake to the smells and sounds of Mom making fresh bread and if it was a special occasion, she’d be making her famous Cinnamon Buns. Because of this weekly ritual we’re a dedicated and serious cinnamon bun family. I’ve now tasted cinnamon buns made by four generations with each one adding their own special twist. This recipe is a sticky, glorious version of "Mom's" and can be cut in half to make seven buns that fit perfectly into our Deep Baking Plate. Stoneware is a wonderful baking surface, allowing for an even bake of the dough with a rich and gooey caramelized sugar and butter base that slides right out of the plate. And the best feature is the Deep Baking Plate can be washed in the dishwasher for a quick clean-up—Mom would be dancing for joy.

Whatever your reasons you’ll want to pull out your stoneware. Our quick tests with our candy thermometer tell us that it keeps liquid five to 10°F warmer than traditional ceramic, glass or porcelain.

Perfect Holiday Baking for Gifting
I grew up in a family where my Mom would start baking for Christmas in late September. There would be all sorts of treats baked and frozen over the course of three months; an amazing chocolate sugar cookie we still call P.T.A. (not sure why), decorated Rogers Syrup cookies, Granny’s German sour cream twists, popcorn balls, spiced nuts and the occasional butter tart (no raisins). Coming from a large family meant that there were ample helping hands at the baking counter. Being the youngest of 10 siblings I was given the easy tasks, counting out the dozens, removing cookies from...
