Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
Remove egg from fridge and place into a bowl of warm water
for 5 mins to bring it up to room temperature.
Add water, yeast and sugar to a bowl and stir with a fork or
whisk. Let sit for 5-10 mins.
*If the yeast does not begin to bubble or grow in size,
throw it out and start over*
Cream butter and 3 tablespoons sugar in a stand mixer until
light and fluffy.
*If whisking by hand, continue to whisk 7-9 mins
continuously until light and fluffy.
Add in the egg and warm milk. Mix.
*It may not be smooth when
mixing, that’s okay.
Add the AP flour, baking powder, salt and yeast mixture
Mix fully and then add in the one cup bread flour.
Prepare a parchment lined baking sheet and lightly spray
with a non stick baking spray.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
If the dough is very wet, it will need extra flour at this
point, if its not wet, a light dusting will do.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle shape. The longer the dough, the larger the ring
will be.
Melt the additional butter and pour onto the dough. Use a pastry brush to spread it around.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over the length of
the dough.
Using a bench scraper, carefully begin to roll a tight log,
like a jelly log.
Using the bench scraper as a guide, roll the dough
completely and transfer to a baking sheet.
Curl the ends of the log to form a circle or oval.
Use water or milk to seal the ends together.
Cover with a towel and let sit in a warm place (preferably
on the stove top)
After 20-30 min brush with milk and bake in 350 degree oven
for 25-30 mins or until golden brown.
