Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix warm milk and sugar until dissolved. Sprinkle in yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well in the center.
- Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs into the well; combine to form a soft dough.
- Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Let rise in an oiled bowl covered with cloth for about 1 hour.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
