(Cover loosely with sheet of foil in last 10-15 minutes, if browning too quickly.)  DONENESS TIP: For extra insurance that the center sticky buns are cooked completely, insert an instant-read thermometer half way down a center bun.

MAKE AHEAD: (times may vary depending on the temperature of your house)
1. Assemble the night before, leave out to rise overnight (approx. 8 hours), and bake first thing in the morning.
2. Assemble 20-24 hours in advance, put in the fridge to partially rise. The next day, remove from fridge and allow to rise at room temperature for 2-3 hours before baking.
3. Assemble 44-48 hours in advance, put  in the fridge to rise. Remove from fridge and warm to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
4. FREEZER OPTION:  Assemble pan, cover and freeze for up to a month in advance. Remove from freezer before you go to bed and let them rise overnight–ready to bake the next morning.

FOR A SMALLER BATCH: Cut all of the ingredients in half to make 12 sticky buns instead of 24. Assemble 12 sticky buns in an 8×8 baking dish, 9″ deep dish pie plate, or 9″ round cake pan (with 2″ tall sides). Reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.

Serves: 12 2-bun servings
