Searing the Beef
Can be made dairy free using plant based butter and milk.
Best enjoyed warm but keeps well covered at room temperature for up to two days.
Lovely served for breakfast, dessert, or afternoon coffee.
Notes
1
Generously butter a Bundt pan with the softened butter, making sure every groove is covered.
2
In a large measuring cup, whisk together milk, water, melted butter, sugar, and yeast. In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flour and salt. Slowly add the milk mixture while mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
3
Increase speed to medium low and knead for 6 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if needed.
4
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and turn to coat. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1½ hours.
5
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in one bowl, and place melted butter in another.
6
Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface, press into an 8 inch square, and cut into small pieces. Roll each piece into a loose ball.
7
Dip the dough balls into melted butter, roll in the cinnamon sugar, and layer them in the prepared Bundt pan, staggering the seams as you go.
8
Cover and let rise again for about 45 minutes until puffy and near the rim.
9
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and bubbling around the edges.
10
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Rest 10 minutes before glazing.
11
In a small bowl, whisk confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm bread and serve immediately.
