Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Milk
- 6 Tablespoons Butter
- 2–1/2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 3–1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 11/2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tablespoon Cardamom
- Egg And Milk, Mixed Together, For Brushing
- Softened Butter, For Smearing And Greasing
Instructions
- Step 1 will be to awaken your sleeping yeast. Mix yeast and 1/4 tsp of sugar in a bowl with 2-3 tbsp of warm water. Set it aside for five minutes for the yeast to froth.
- Melt butter with milk. Heat until very warm, but don’t boil. Allow to cool until still warm to the touch, but not hot.
- Since I used salted butter, I haven’t used any salt separately for the dough.
- In a bowl beat sugar and eggs until combined. Pour in milk/butter/yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour, bit by bit and knead until combined.
- If dough is very sticky, add 1/4 cup flour and knead for 5 minutes.
- Once the dough is done, place it in a bowl and set it in a warm, hospitable place for an hour.
- The dough should double in volume after an hour.
- Once the dough is doubled, punch out the air and gently knead it on a work surface.
- with the help of a rolling pin, roll the dough in a rectangle (ensure it is not too wide to put in the baking pan).
- Spread some butter on the dough.
- Mix sugar, cardamom and cinnamon together, then sprinkle evenly over the butter-smeared dough. Starting at the far end, roll dough toward you, keeping it tight and contained. Pinch seam to seal.
- Spread the baking pan with softened butter. Place dough, seam down, in the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180 degree celsius.
- Mix a little egg with milk, and brush over the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes on a middle/lower rack in the oven.
- Remove from the pan and allow bread to cool. Slice and serve with a cuppa steaming coffee- bliss!
