Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (divided)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp fresh brewed coffee
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar; sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add melted butter to the yeast mixture, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread melted butter over the surface, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, cut into strips, and tie into knots.
- Place knots on a lined baking sheet, let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
- For the icing, mix powdered sugar with brewed coffee until smooth. Drizzle over warm knots before serving.
