- 30 g butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

- 1 tsp salt
- 100 g sugar
- 60 ml water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, warm the milk, water, and butter until the butter is melted. Let it cool to lukewarm.
Step 3
Add the milk mixture and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl.
Step 7
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
Step 8
Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
Step 9
Roll up the dough tightly, starting from one of the short ends, and place it in a greased loaf pan.
Step 10
Cover the loaf and let it rise for another 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Step 11
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Step 12
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Step 13
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
