Ingredients

½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup whole milk
⅓ cup unsalted butter, divided
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)

Instructions

Warm milk in a saucepan until lukewarm. Sprinkle yeast over it and let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
In a bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add melted butter and yeast mixture; mix until combined.
Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
Roll out dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter over it. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll tightly from one long side to create a log; slice into even pieces.
Place slices in greased baking dish close together; let rise again while preheating oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
