Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for the glaze
- 1-2 tablespoons milk for the glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Add eggs and mix well.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and brown sugar. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle, spread melted butter over the top, and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
- Shape the Bread: Roll the dough tightly into a log and place it seam side down in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Make the Glaze: While the bread cools, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm bread before serving.
