Dough

Cinnamon Spread

Streusel Topping

Vanilla Icing

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, warm the milk until it is lukewarm (not hot). Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Cinnamon Spread Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Cinnamon Spread

    In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until well combined.

Streusel Topping Preparation

  1. 6

    Make Streusel

    In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly and set aside.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and dip into the cinnamon spread, then layer them in a greased loaf pan.

  2. 8

    Add Streusel Topping

    Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the layered dough balls.

  3. 9

    Final Rise

    Cover the loaf pan and allow the dough to rise for another 30 minutes.

  4. 10

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Icing Preparation

  1. 11

    Make Vanilla Icing

    In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and drizzle over the warm bread before serving.
