Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (for drizzling)
Instructions
- 1. Activate the Yeast: Combine warm milk and yeast in a bowl; let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
- 2. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture until combined into a sticky dough.
- 3. Knead: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4. First Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about an hour until doubled in size.
- 5. Prepare Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- 6. Shape the Dough: Roll out risen dough into a rectangle (1/4 inch thick). Spread melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across it. Cut into strips, stack them, and shape into a snowflake on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 7. Second Rise: Allow the shaped bread to rise for another 30 minutes.
- 8. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- 9. Finish: Drizzle with powdered sugar mixed with milk or cream once cooled slightly.
