Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (unbleached)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk in a saucepan until just warm. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
  2. In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the yeast mixture along with melted butter. Stir until combined.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
  4. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Roll tightly from one edge to form a log and slice into pieces (about 2 inches thick). Place in a greased baking dish and pour heavy cream over the top.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
