# Instructions:
01 -
Stir together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix in eggs, butter, and warm milk. Knead into a smooth ball and leave it covered for an hour to puff up.

Stir the nuts, sugar, and cinnamon together until combined.

Roll out the dough flat like a rectangle. Coat the top with butter, scatter the nut mix, roll it up tight, slice into strips, twist them, and form spiraled buns.

Place buns in a greased tray. Let them sit for 30 minutes, then bake in a 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes or until they’re a nice golden brown.

Warm honey, water, and vanilla together in a small pan. Pour it over your freshly baked warm buns and allow time to soak up that sweetness before digging in.
# Notes:

Enjoy these buns inspired by fluffy babka bread and sweet, nutty baklava.

Boost the taste with some orange zest in your syrup or sprinkle cardamom into the filling.
