Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups warm milk
- 1 ½ tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 8 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Add the sugar, salt, and melted butter. Mix well.
- Form the Dough: Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Assemble and Bake: Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Roll each half into a rectangle. Spread melted butter over each, then sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Roll up tightly and place into greased loaf pans. Let rise for 30 minutes.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
- Use fresh yeast for the best rise.
- Ensure milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
- Don’t skip the kneading process; it’s crucial for gluten development.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment.
- Monitor the bread while baking to prevent over-browning.
