In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

In a larger bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Flour your surface and knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 20 minutes in a warm spot.

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Once the dough has risen, divide it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each ball slightly, then place it into the waffle iron. Cook until golden brown, usually about 3-5 minutes.

Remove the waffles from the iron while they are hot, and carefully slice them in half horizontally. Drizzle caramel sauce inside and press the two halves back together.

Let them cool slightly, and then enjoy your homemade Stroopwafels!
