Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Whole milk
- 85 g Unsalted butter
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 10 g Active dry yeast
- 2 pcs Large eggs
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 30 g Softened butter (for filling)
- 1 pcs Egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp water)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it’s lukewarm (about 37–40°C or 100–105°F). Remove from heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt. Stir in the granulated sugar until dissolved.
Transfer the milk mixture to a bowl and sprinkle the active dry yeast over the surface. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk-yeast mixture, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5–7 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon filling. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches.
Spread the softened butter for the filling evenly across the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter, leaving a 1-inch border on one long edge.
Starting from the long edge opposite the clean border, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal the roll.
Place the rolled dough seam-side down into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, or twist the dough and place it for a decorative effect.
Cover the loaf pan with a clean towel and let the dough rise again in a warm spot for 30–45 minutes, or until it puffs up.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the loaf with the egg wash.
Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown on top and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
