Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm milk (110°F/45°C)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted unsalted butter, and the egg until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Keep mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead with the stand mixer for 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon topping. In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and softened butter until it forms a paste. Set aside.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, grease a 9x13-inch sheet pan or baking dish. Punch down the dough and roll it out to fit the pan, pressing it evenly into the corners.

Step 8

Spread the cinnamon topping evenly over the surface of the dough using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 11

Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges pull slightly away from the pan.

Step 12

Let the bread cool for 10 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.

Step 13

Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm. Enjoy!
