Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3.25 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Combine warm milk and honey in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top, stir gently, and let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Stir in melted butter and salt. Gradually add bread flour one cup at a time, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and springy.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for 60–90 minutes until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and roll into a 9x15 inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the coconut sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  6. Roll the dough up lengthwise into a tight log and place seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
  7. Cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes until the crust is mahogany-colored and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
