Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
  • 2 tablespoons milk for glaze

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rolling pin
  • Baking dish
  • Plastic wrap
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for an hour.
  5. After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
  6. Spread melted butter over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
