These dulce de leche sticky buns are my absolute go to when I want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. With just 20 minutes of prep and 40 minutes in the oven, you'll have bakery quality pastries on your table faster than you'd think possible. The best part? Making them at home costs a fraction of what you'd pay at a cafe, and you control exactly what goes into each bite. I love using eggs in the dough because they add richness and protein while keeping everything tender and fluffy. That swirl of dulce de leche combined with the crunchy streusel topping creates pure magic that'll have everyone asking for seconds.
