Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 12×8 inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
- Brush the melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Cut the dough into 6-8 strips. Stack the strips on top of each other, then cut the stack into 6-8 equal pieces.
- Arrange the dough pieces vertically in the prepared loaf pan.
- Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
