Directions

• Use your favorite bread making method (bread machine, stand mixer w/ dough hook, or by hand). If making by hand: Add yeast, water, then the rest of the dough ingredients to a large bowl & begin stirring with a wooden spoon. Once a dough ball has formed move the dough to a well floured surface.
• Knead dough for 10 minutes until it is smooth & elastic like.
• Move back to the bowl & cover with a clean cloth.
• Let rise 1 hour or until double in size
• Prepare the coating by mixing the sugar, brown sugar, & cinnamon together in small bowl, set aside.
• After 1 hour rise, divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Take each piece, roll into a 15 log. Brush the pieces with 2 Tablespoons melted butter. Take the cinnamon/sugar mixture and sprinkle over the logs, roll each piece in mixture to coat evenly.
• Take the 3 pieces, pinch the top, braid the logs together, pinch the end when done.
• Carefully place on greased cookie sheet. Scoop up the unused cinnamon/sugar place in bowl with remaining melted butter, mix, then gently pat the mixture on to top of loaf. (If you dont have enough butter or cinnamon/sugar mix you can make some more with 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon).
• Let rise 1 hour or until loaf is double in size.
• Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
• Bake at 350 F. degrees for 23-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
• Let cool, then slice & enjoy.
