  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Makes approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar mixture (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by mixing warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until combined.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (around 1 hour).
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle (1/4 inch thick), brush with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then roll tightly and slice into rounds.
