Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, vegetable oil, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Whisk in the eggs until well combined. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Filling and Shaping
- In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and sugar for your filling.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out onto a floured surface into a large rectangle. Brush the melted butter over the dough and evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling on top.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log, pinching the edges to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and arrange them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes, again until the dough has puffed.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the bread is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of water until smooth.
- Once baked, let the bread cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the icing over the top before serving.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use almond or coconut milk and substitute the eggs with flaxseed eggs. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
