Ingredients

3 Cups-All Purpose Flour

1 1/2 teaspoons- Dry Active Yeast

1/2 teaspoon- Cinnamon Powder

1 teaspoon- Vanilla Powder or Extract

1 tablespoon- Malted Milk Powder(Optional)

1/2 teaspoons- Nutmeg (Freshly Grated)

2 teaspoons- Salt

3 tablespoons- Honey

1/3 Cup- Granulated Sugar

Blooming Yeast

Warm up one and 1/4 cups of warm water no hotter than 105 degrees
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of dry active yeast
Wait 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast has risen to the top and looks foamy

Mixing Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, and malted milk powder (optional). Whisk all ingredients until completely combined. If using vanilla extract you can add it to your bloomed yeast mixture.

Combining Dry And Wet Ingredients

Now combine the wet and dry ingredients together and with a spatula mix until all the flour is gone. Liked pictured below.

If you have some flour left on the bottom of the bowl add a tiny amount of water to combine_.

Kneading The Dough

After mixing your dough it should be tacky, but shouldn’t really stick to your hands. Lightly flour a work surface so you can knead the dough and form it into a ball. Kneading dough is as simple as pulling the dough away from you, folding it over, rotating 180°, and repeating. Knead your dough for just a minute or 2 until it starts to firm up. Form into a ball to rise for 2 hours in a large plastic-rapped bowl.

Rolling Out The Dough

Roll out your dough into a thin sheet. Measuring about 13” wide and 20” long. Spread a layer of honey on the dough and coat it with cinnamon and sugar. Tightly roll.

Getting Ready for the Oven

Take your roll and slowly stretch it out to be 24 inches long. Then roll it into a spiral like a cinnamon roll. Place in a 7×3 cake pan lined with parchment paper, bottom, and sides.

Time for the oven

Place on the middle rake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until the bread is a dark golden brown color. After baking remove the side parchment paper and it should easily fall out. Place on rake until cool.
