Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 whole Large egg
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Add the milk mixture, egg, and water to the dry ingredients. Beat together until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/4 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Step 7

Punch down the dough. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 18x9 inches.

Step 8

Brush with melted butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 10

Starting with a short side, roll up tightly and pinch edges to seal. Place roll, seam side down, in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 11

Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 13

Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

Step 14

Remove from the pan to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
