Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing warm milk with 1 teaspoon sugar and yeast in a small bowl; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and remaining sugar. Add melted butter, eggs, and yeast mixture; stir until combined.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth. Let rise in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap for about an hour or until doubled in size.
