Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter is just melted. Allow the mixture to cool until lukewarm (about 100°F-110°F).

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the lukewarm milk mixture and the beaten eggs into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface again. Roll it into a rectangular shape approximately 12 inches long and 8 inches wide.

Step 9

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the surface of the dough, then roll the dough tightly into a log starting with the short edge.

Step 10

Place the rolled dough seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan. Cover with a towel and let it rise again for 30 minutes or until it puffs up slightly.

Step 11

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped lightly on top.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy this sweet, cinnamon-infused yellow bread on its own or with a spread of butter!
