Scale
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, and cinnamon.
- Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until a dough forms.
