Ingredients:
- For the Dough:
- 30g fresh yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 100g melted butter
- 1 egg
- For the Filling:
- 60g melted butter
- Approx. 15g cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons sugar
Instructions:
- Start with the yeast mixture by combining the fresh yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar, 3 tablespoons of warm milk, and 1 tablespoon of flour. Cover and wait for it to activate, forming a frothy layer.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour with the remaining sugar, egg, warm milk, melted butter, and the activated yeast mixture. Knead the dough, adding a bit more flour if too sticky, until smooth. Let it rise under cover until doubled in size.
- Once risen, knead the dough briefly, then roll out into a rectangle. Spread the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up tightly from the longer side.
- Cut the roll into slices and place them close together on a baking sheet. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for around 20 minutes.
- Finish by glazing with icing or dusting with powdered sugar for a sweet, inviting look.
