Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by mixing warm milk with yeast and a teaspoon of sugar; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, salt, and softened butter. Add the yeast mixture and stir until blended.
  3. Gradually add more flour until you form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl and let it rise in a warm area for about an hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread melted butter on top, then sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
  6. Roll tightly into a log and slice into even pieces. Place cut-side up in a greased baking dish and let rise again for 30 minutes.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Drizzle with icing made from powdered sugar mixed with vanilla extract and milk.
