Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Optional cinnamon sugar topping
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the butter just melts. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Add the lukewarm milk-butter mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a smooth and elastic dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free space for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a large baking sheet.
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a rectangle to fit the baking dish. If desired, sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar for a sweet and crunchy topping.
Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 20-30 minutes until puffed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm with butter, jam, or honey!
