Dough Recipe
- 3/4 cup warm milk (heated to about 110°F)
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1 stick butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 1 tsp nutmeg
Powdered sugar glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, add your warm milk and sprinkle yeast in bowl. Let the yeast activate for 3-5 minutes. It should start to bubble a bit. Once the yeast has activated, start adding your other ingredients to the bowl.
- Attach the dough hook attachment. Add in sugar, egg, melted butter and mix until combined. On low speed, stir in bread flour and salt until combined.
- Increase speed of mixer to medium and kneed dough until more of a dough ball forms. Remove from the mixing bowl and kneed by hand on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes.
- Lightly grease a bowl with some olive oil and place the dough ball in the bowl to rise. Cover with cloth towel and set in warm place (oven with light on, microwave, countertop) to let rise for 1-2 hours. Until doubled in size.
- When you dough has doubled in size, preheat your oven to 350°F. And start preparing your butter and sugar coating. Melt 1 stick of butter in a medium bowl. Measure out your sugar and spices in a other bowl, stirring to combine. Also prepare your pan. Butter a bread loaf or bunt pan, making sure all sides are covered. Sprinkle with sugar or brown sugar to coat the edges of the pan – this will make the outside caramelized and delicious as it bakes!
- Next take your dough ball and punch down and separate into small dough balls about 1” thick.
- Dip each ball first in the butter, then in the sugar and add to pan. Repeating and continue to add until your pans are full and all dough balls are added to pan.
- You should have some remaining melted butter and sugar in your bowls. Combine the sugar in with the butter and stir around. Pour the buttery mixture on the top of your dough.
- Place in oven and cook for 30-40 minutes until golden brown on top and cooked all the way through.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Option to add a powdered sugar glaze on top.
- Flip over onto plate, wiggle to remove from pan, break apart and enjoy with coffee, tea or brunch spread.
