Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.25 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Topping

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a small bowl, warm the milk slightly (not hot). Stir in the granulated sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
  • Pour the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs into the well of the flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • While the dough is rising, prepare the topping. In a shallow dish, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. In another shallow dish, melt the butter.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down. Roll it into a long log and cut into 12-15 pieces.
  • Dip each piece of dough into the melted butter, then roll it in the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  • Arrange the coated dough pieces in a greased bundt pan.
  • Cover the pan and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let cool slightly in the pan before inverting onto a serving plate.

Notes

Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cinnamon-sugar goodness!
