Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- 1. Activate the yeast by mixing warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp of sugar in a bowl. Let sit for about five minutes until frothy.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center.
- 3. Pour the activated yeast mixture and melted butter into the well. Mix until combined without overworking the dough.
- 4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about five minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl and cover; let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- 5. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread softened butter on top and sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar mixture before rolling tightly.
- 6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice rolled dough into pieces and place in a greased baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
