Ingredients

1 cup Milk
6 Tbsp Butter 2 1/2 tsp dry yeast
2 eggs
1/3 cups sugar
3 1/2 cups Flour
1 tsp salt
1/3 cups sugar
2 Tbsp cinnamon
Egg and milk, mixed together, for brushing
Softened butter, for smearing and greasing

Directions

1. Melt butter with milk in microwave until warm, but don't boil. Allow to cool until still warm to the touch. Sprinkle yeast over the top, stir gently, and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl mix sugar and eggs until combined. Then pour in milk/butter/yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add half the flour and beat on medium speed until combined. Add the other half and beat until combined. Then pour into bread machine
3. Add flour & salt to bread machine and turn on dough setting.
4. Turn dough out onto the work surface. Roll into a neat rectangle no wider than the loaf pan you're going to use, and about 18 to 24 inches long. Smear with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle evenly over the butter-smeared dough. Starting at the far end, roll dough toward you, keeping it tight and contained. Pinch seam to seal.
5. Smear loaf pan with softened butter. Place dough, seam down, in the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 2 hours.
6. If you have to much to fit in the loaf pan cut it to size and allow extra to rise in another pan that can be baked according to the same directions.
7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
8. Mix a little egg with milk, and smear over the top. Bake for 40 minutes on a middle/lower rack in the oven.
9. Remove from the pan and allow bread to cool. Slice and serve, or make cinnamon toast or French toast with it.
