Ingredients
Method
Activate the yeast
- Combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Wait for the mixture to become frothy in 5–10 minutes.
Add butter and eggs
- Stir in the melted butter and eggs until well combined.
Add flour and salt
- Gradually stir in the flour and salt until a dough forms.
Knead the dough
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled.
Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out and add filling
- Roll dough into a rectangle, spread melted butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar evenly.
Roll and place in pan
- Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log, pinch seam to seal, and place seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
Second rise
- Let it rise another 30 minutes until puffy.
Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool and slice
- Allow to cool before slicing to set the crumb and prevent tearing.
