1

Mixing the Magic

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix them together like you're stirring a cauldron of magical ingredients.

2

Making It Fluffy

In a separate small bowl, heat 1 cup of milk until it's warm, but not hot. We don't want to scald those milk particles! Add 1/4 cup of melted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir it all together until you have a milky mixture that's smoother than a cloud.

3

Kneading the Magic

Pour the milky mixture into the dry ingredients bowl, and carefully stir it all together until you have a sticky dough. Dust your hands and the countertop with flour to prevent sticking, then transfer the dough onto the countertop. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes as smooth as a unicorn's mane.

4

Rising to the Sky

Place the dough in a greased bowl, and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. During this time, resist the urge to peek at the rising dough, as it might lose some of its magical powers!

5

Filling the Magic Circle

Once the dough has risen, transfer it back to the countertop and roll it out into a large circle. Sprinkle a mixture of 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon evenly over the dough. Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, and then shape it into a circle. Pinch the edges together to seal in the magical filling.

6

Baking to Perfection

Place the shaped dough on a greased baking sheet and cover it once again with a towel. Let it rise for another 30 minutes to let the magic continue. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and when the dough is ready, bake it for 25-30 minutes until it turns golden brown and sends out heavenly aromas.
