You'll need

Items needed to answer the question, prepare a humongous cinnamon coil. Items include:  All-purpose flour  Granulated sugar  Instant yeast  Salt  Whole milk  Unsalted butter  Ground cinnamon
  • All-purpose flour 3 cups
  • Granulated sugar 3/4 cup
  • Instant yeast 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • Salt 1/2 teaspoon
  • Whole milk 1 cup
  • Unsalted butter 1/4 cup (for dough) + 1/4 cup (melted, for filling)
  • Ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons

Take note
Be cautious when working with hot ovens and sharp utensils. Keep an eye on the coil while baking to prevent burning.

1

Prepare the dough

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well. In a separate bowl, heat 1 cup of whole milk and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter until the butter melts. Let it cool slightly, then add it to the flour mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.

2

Knead the dough

Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball.

3

Let the dough rise

Place the dough ball in a greased bowl, turning it to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

4

Prepare the cinnamon filling

In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter. Set aside.

5

Roll out the dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

6

Spread the filling

Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

7

Shape the coil

Starting from one long side of the rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log. Carefully coil the log into a large spiral shape, tucking the end underneath.

8

Let it rise again

Transfer the cinnamon coil onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it loosely with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

9

Bake the cinnamon coil

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the coil has finished its second rise, bake it in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
