Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 120°) Ideal temperature for activating yeast
  • 3 tablespoons honey Can be substituted with maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 5 tablespoons melted, 3 tablespoons reserved for later
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 4-6 cups bread flour Add more if the dough feels sticky
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar For topping
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the 1/3 cup sugar, warm water, honey, and dry yeast. Mix gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
  2. Warm the milk and add it to the yeast mixture, then stir well.
  3. Melt 5 tablespoons of butter in the microwave and add it to the mixture.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups of flour, using the dough hook to mix.
  5. Next, add the remaining melted butter, salt, and 2 more cups of flour.
  6. Turn on the mixer and knead for 7 to 10 minutes. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle in flour, a little at a time, until it forms a stretchy ball.
  7. Allow the dough to rise until it doubles in size, then shape it as desired.
