Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure your yeast is active before adding it to the dough. To test this, dissolve the yeast in a small amount of warm water with a little sugar. If the yeast becomes foamy after a few minutes, it is active and can be used.
- If you don't have salted caramel sauce, you can drizzle the sticky buns with maple syrup or honey.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
