Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup additional granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it reaches about 110°F. Remove from heat and stir in the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until melted.

Step 3

Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead with a stand mixer using a dough hook for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Lightly coat a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 7

Punch down the dough, then divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 8 inches long and tie it into a loose knot.

Step 8

Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Cover them loosely with a towel and allow them to rise for another 20 minutes.

Step 9

Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 10

While the knots are baking, combine the cinnamon and the additional granulated sugar in a shallow dish.

Step 11

When the knots are done baking, brush each one generously with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delightful Sugared Knots!
