Prep: 3 hours 30 minutes

Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 400 g AP Flour 3⅓ cup
  • tsp Instant yeast
  • tsp Sea salt
  • 42 g Honey 2 tbsp
  • 80 g Whole or 2% milk ⅓ cup, warm
  • 160 g Water ⅔ cup, warm
  • 42 g Unsalted butter 3 tbsp, room temperature

Filling

  • 42 g Unsalted butter 3 tbsp, very soft/melted
  • 25 g Dark brown sugar 2 tbsp
  • 25 g Granulated sugar 2 tbsp
  • 15 g Cinnamon 2 tbsp

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer with dough hook attached, add flour, yeast, salt, honey, milk, and water and mix on low until a rough dough starts to form.
  • Add butter, 1 tbsp at a time, waiting until each piece has been fully mixed into the dough before adding the next.
  • Knead dough on low until soft and smooth. Dough should no longer be sticking to the sides of the bowl.
  • Remove dough, shape into a ball. Lightly grease bowl and place dough back in. Cover and let rise for one to two hours or until dough has doubled in size.
  • Combine your very soft butter, cinnamon, granulated and brown sugar in a small bowl. Mix until you have a spreadable paste.
  • Line an 8.5x4.5" loaf pan with parchment. Set aside.
  • When dough has finished rising, remove from bowl and roll dough out into an approximately 8x16 inch rectangle.
  • Spread your cinnamon sugar mixture over your rolled out dough, leaving about a 1 inch border on the short sides and a half inch border on the long sides.
  • Starting on the short side, roll your dough into a log.
  • Place your dough, seam side down into the loaf pan, cover and let rise for 30-60 minutes.
  • While your dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • When dough has risen to near the top of the loaf pan, place on the center rack of your oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The top of your bread should be a dark golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, and remove bread from loaf pan immediately onto a wire rack to cool. Do not slice into bread until it has completely cooled.
  • Bread can be stored in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Enjoy!
