Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 whole Large egg
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Stir to combine.
Add the milk mixture, egg, and water to the dry ingredients. Beat together until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/4 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 18x9 inches.
Brush with melted butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting with a short side, roll up tightly and pinch edges to seal. Place roll, seam side down, in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
Remove from the pan to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
