Instructions
- Grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, stir milk, sugar, and butter together. Heat over low heat just until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to about 100-105 F.
- Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the yeast and warm water.
- Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
- With the mixer still going, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Mix about 1 ½ minutes, or until dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl.
- Knead on low speed for about 2 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic – the dough will still be slightly sticky to the touch.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top. Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel.
- Let it rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 10 minutes.
- Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon for filling in a small dish.
- Divide dough into small balls, and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. The smaller the balls, the more cinnamon sugar coating they'll have.
- Place balls in layers in prepared bundt pan.
- In a sauce pan, combine 1/2 cup of the remaining sugar cinnamon mixture with brown sugar and butter.
- Bring mixture just to a boil and then immediately remove from heat.
- Carefully pour the mixture over the dough balls in the pan.
- Cover, and let rise for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 F, and place rack in the lower third of oven.
- Uncover, and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Run a thin knife around the outside of the pan.
- Invert and unmold onto platter.
- To make the glaze, mix melted butter, powdered sugar, and enough milk to make a pourable glaze.
- Drizzle glaze over warm bread, and break into pieces to serve.
Notes
- Anything from skim to whole milk will work. Whole milk will give you a richer dough.
- If you would like to use active dry yeast, prepare through step 4. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it foams. Then, continue with the recipe as-written.
