Anything to do with bread and sugar, I’m there. I always love how basic the ingredients are. Simple ingredients, when done right, can give you the most delicious outcome.

Instructions
- In a large bowl: Sift flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add yeast. Add eggs, butter, vanilla and milk. Incorporate all ingredients. Once everything is brought together, knead for 3-5 minutes. Just enough to bring everything together. Do not over knead. Place dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover and set in a warm place to proof for 1-2 hours. It should double. Lightly cover work area with butter or shortening. This will keep the dough from sticking.
