Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Warm the milk until lukewarm. In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit until foamy.
- Gradually mix in flour, sugar, salt, eggs, and melted butter until combined. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in another bowl for the filling.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the surface and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar blend. Roll tightly into a log.
- Place the log in a greased loaf pan seam-side down. Cover and let rise again until puffy (about 30 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
