Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl. Let it sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, salt, melted butter, and egg. Add the yeast mixture once it’s ready.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle (12×18 inches) and generously sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log shape, pinch seams to seal, then place seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (30-45 minutes). Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in nutmeg or chocolate chips.
- Whole wheat flour can be used for a healthier alternative.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
