Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 3 cups Brown sugar
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat milk, 6 tablespoons of butter, and granulated sugar until warm (around 110°F). Remove from heat and whisk until the butter is melted.
In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk mixture with the yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Stir in the egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, kneading until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan or large baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt the additional 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter and set aside.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the melted butter, then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Layer the coated dough balls in the prepared pan, sprinkling chopped pecans between layers if using.
Once all the dough balls are layered, cover the pan and let the dough rise for another 20 minutes.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Invert the pan onto a serving plate and drizzle with any remaining caramelized sauce from the pan.
Serve warm and enjoy!
