Ingredients
  

The Dough

  • 5 cups All-purpose flour – the foundation of our dough
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar – just the right touch of sweetness
  • 1 pinch A pinch of salt – to balance the flavors or a small spoonful
  • 1 3/4 cup Milk – warmed to the perfect temperature
  • 2 1/4 spoonfuls Instant yeast – our trusty riser
  • 5 tbsp Butter – because it’s the heart of flavor (melted)
  • 2 Eggs

The Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 Cinnamon stick or a large spoonful
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Butter (melted)

Instructions
 

  • Let’s start by whisking together our dry ingredients in a large bowl. Which would be flour, sugar, salt. While in a seperate bowl put together your wet ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F
  • Warm up your milk to a cozy, yeast-friendly temperature, then mix in the yeast to activate it.
  • Pour the melted butter with the warm milk
  • Mix together the wet and dry ingredients till doughy
  • Put down a little flour and kneading the dough till it's like elastic. try and make a figure 8 with the dough, if your able to make one then your all set.
  • Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl and let the dough rise till it's doubled in size or for about 1 to 2 hours in your kitchen.
  • After rising, punch the dough and tear it into peices and create small dough balls. let them sit for a second while you make the sauce.
  • Make the coating of only cinnamon sugar and melt your butter in a seperate bowl. Then, put the dough ball into the melted butter and then roll it around the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • When finished with all of the dough balls, put them all into the dutch oven. It doesn't matter about the placement.
  • Put the dutch oven into the preheated oven for 25 minutes or till they are golden brown.
  • When done let them cool and enjoy straight up or with a glaze.
