Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

  1. Add the warm water, softened butter, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan.
  2. Pour the bread flour over the liquids, create a small well in the center of the flour, and add the instant yeast, ensuring it does not touch the water or salt.
  3. Set the bread machine to the Dough Cycle and run until the cycle is complete.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a rectangle approximately 8x12 inches.
  5. Brush the melted butter across the surface of the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly over the butter.
  6. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from the long edge.
  7. Place the log seam-side down back into the bread pan.
  8. Let the dough rise for approximately 45 minutes (or use the Rise setting) until it expands to the top of the pan.
  9. Select the Basic/White bake setting with a medium crust and start the machine.
  10. Remove the pan immediately after the timer beeps to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
