Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/3 cups warm water (100-115 degrees)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • Sauce Coating
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons water

Method

  • Dough:
  • Active yeast in the warm water with the sugar, let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Mix flour, salt, oil with the yeast.
  • Use dough hook on mixer for 5-6 minutes. OR if by hand, flour a surface and hand and knead for 7-10 minute -- til elastic like.
  • Coat a large bowl in oil, place dough in and flip to coat so it doesn't dry out, cover with clean dish cloth.
  • Set in a warm place (60-80 degrees) to rise for 1 1/2-2 hours, or til doubled in size. I usually turn my oven on for 2 minutes on the lowest setting then turn off and use it to raise my dough.
  • Sauce:
  • In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon, set aside.
  • In a small sauce pan heat butter, brown sugar and water.
  • Preheat Oven to 350.
  • Once dough is risen, punch down. Make small balls of dough about 2-3cm in diameter. Coat in sugar-cinnamon mixture, placing in a bundt pan, and repeat til all your dough is gone.
  • Pour heated mixture over dough balls, bake for 25-30 min at 350.
