- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Activate the yeast by warming the milk until just warm to touch. Sprinkle in yeast and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, beaten egg, and melted butter; mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
