Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat until warm but not hot (about 110°F).
Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the flour mixture. Beat on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed for about 2 minutes.
Gradually stir in the remaining 1.5 cups of flour until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 40–50 small, even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and 0.5 cups of granulated sugar. In a separate small bowl, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter.
Dip each dough ball in the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Arrange the coated dough balls in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, layering them as needed.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, leftover cinnamon sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over low until the sugar is dissolved, then pour the mixture evenly over the dough balls.
Cover the pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the bubble loaf for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert the pan to release the bread onto a serving plate.
Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart the sweet, fluffy dough balls!
