American · Bread · 65 min total

A soft, buttery yeast bread layered with cinnamon sugar that you can pull apart into individual pieces. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/4 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1/2 cup milk, warmed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for filling)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar; let stand 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, combine milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, egg, and salt. Add yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Gradually add remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
3. Turn dough onto floured surface; knead 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon for filling. Punch down dough; roll into a 12x20-inch rectangle. Brush with 1/4 cup melted butter; sprinkle evenly with cinnamon-sugar.
5. Cut dough into 6 strips lengthwise (about 3 inches wide), then stack strips on top of each other. Cut stack into 6 squares. Place squares on edge in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, arranging them like a stack of dominoes.
6. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
7. Bake 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack. Serve warm.

Tips

• For extra gooeyness, drizzle with cream cheese glaze after baking.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
