Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 2 large eggs

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

• Activate the Yeast:
• In a bowl, combine warm milk and a pinch of sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk, stir, and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
• Prepare the Dough:
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until the dough comes together.
• Knead and Rise:
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
• Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
• In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
• Shape the Bread:
• Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small balls (about golf ball size). Dip each ball in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Assemble in the Pan:
• Place the coated dough balls in a greased loaf pan, stacking them on top of each other.
• Second Rise:
• Cover the pan with a cloth and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
• Bake:
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve:
• Allow the bread to cool slightly before pulling it apart and serving. Enjoy the sweet, cinnamon-infused goodness!
