Ingredients

Instructions

In a stand mixer bowl with dough hook, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warmed milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix on low for 2-3 minutes, then knead on medium for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Shape dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
Mix cinnamon and sugar for filling in a small bowl and set softened butter aside.
Punch down risen dough and roll into a 9×18-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over the surface, leaving a ½-inch border at the top, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the butter.
Roll dough tightly from the short end, pinch the seam and ends to seal, and place seam-side down in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Cover and let rise for 45-60 minutes until dough crowns 1 inch above the pan rim. Preheat oven to 350°F during the last 15 minutes.
Brush loaf with egg wash and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 190-195°F. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
