Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cups Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 Large eggs
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 Egg yolks

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warm to the touch (about 110°F).

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 3

Pour in the warm milk-butter mixture and add the eggs. Mix on low speed using the dough hook until a dough forms.

Step 4

Increase the speed to medium and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough rises, prepare the custard. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, heavy cream, egg yolks, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Heat over low-medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let the custard cool completely.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the remaining brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar filling.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 9x15 inches).

Step 9

Spread the cooled custard evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 10

Starting with the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Step 11

Place the rolled dough in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 13

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 14

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
