Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm milk (240ml)
  • 2 large eggs (100g)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (42g)
  • 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (63g)
  • 1 tsp salt (6g)
  • 3 cups bread flour (360g)
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (7g)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (42g)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon (16g)

Instructions:

  1. Add warm milk, eggs, softened butter, honey, and salt to the bread machine pan.
  2. Pour bread flour over the liquid and create a small well in the center for the instant yeast, ensuring it does not touch the liquid or salt.
  3. Select the Dough Cycle and start the machine.
  4. Once the cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently punch it down to release air.
  5. Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a rectangle approximately 9x15 inches.
  6. Spread the softened butter evenly across the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture on top.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from the short end into a log.
  8. Place the rolled log seam-side down back into the bread pan.
  9. Select the Bake setting (or a Basic cycle if skipping the first rise) and bake until the top is mahogany-gold and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
  10. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
