How to cook:

1. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, stir milk, sugar, and butter together. Heat over low heat just until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to about 100-105 F.
3. Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
4. Add the yeast and warm water.
5. Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
6. With the mixer still going, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Mix about 1 ½ minutes, or until dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl.
7. Knead on low speed for about 2 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic. The dough should feel soft and slightly sticky, but it shouldn't stick to your finger if you pinch it.
8. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top. Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel.
9. Let it rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 10 minutes.
10. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and divide dough into two equal pieces.
11. Roll each piece into a 12x8-inch rectangle.
12. Stir filling ingredients together, and spread 1/2 of the filling ingredients over each piece of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
13. Roll up lengthwise, pinching seam to seal.
14. Cut the dough in half lengthwise, leaving a 1/2-inch uncut section at the end.
15. Twist the pieces of dough over each other to form a long twist, and pinch cut ends together.
16. Starting at the uncut end, coil the twist around, tucking in the ends.
17. Place 1 braid in each pan.
18. Cover the pans with the dish towel, and let the dough rise for about 15 minutes.
19. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 F.
20. Bake at 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
21. While the bread is baking, prepare the frosting.
22. To prepare the frosting, whisk powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla together in a medium bowl.
23. Whisk in enough milk to make desired consistency. I leave the frosting on the thicker side because it melts when it's drizzled over the warm bread.
24. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes.
25. Remove bread from pans and place on a wire cooling rack. I put a baking mat or a piece of parchment underneath to catch any drips.
26. Drizzle bread with frosting while warm.

Provided by: Bettie
Total time: 260 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Prep time: 210 minutes
Yields: 2 servings
Number of ingredients: 12

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups of milk
• 3 TBSP unsalted butter, but into pieces
• 3/4 cup water, about 105°F
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (or 1 package)
• 3 TBSP sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 1/2 cups unbleached bread flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for kneading)
• 3 TBSP unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 TBSP cinnamon
• egg wash (1 egg white lightly whisked with 1 TBSP water)

How to cook:

1. In a saucepan heat the milk over medium heat for about 4 minutes to scald. When the milk is steaming remove it from the heat and add the butter. Set aside to cool.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the yeast and warm water. Set aside while the milk cools to lukewarm.
3. The the mixing bowl with the yeast, add 2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt and cooled milk mixture and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth.
4. Switch to the dough hook and gradually add 21/2 cups more of flour while mixing on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until the dough forms into a ball. This should take about 2 minutes of mixing.
5. Turn the dough ball out onto a clean and lightly floured work space and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Return the dough to the bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours, until doubled in size.
6. Gently press all of the gas out of the dough pull the edges over to the center to form a ball, and cover and let rise a second time for an hour.
7. Grease two standard loaf pans (8.5 X 4.5 X 2.5) pans on the sides and bottoms. Turn the dough out onto the lightly floured surface again, and lightly push the air out of the dough. Cut the dough into two equal pieces. (NOTE: If you only want to use half of the dough you can put the rest in the refrigerator for up to 2 days covered. Allow chilled dough to sit at room temp for 1 hour before using).
8. Roll the dough out with a lightly floured rolling pin into a rectangle about 1/4" thick.
9. Brush melted butter over the dough and sprinkle sugar and then cinnamon evenly over the dough.
10. Roll the dough tightly into a log. Use your fingers to pinch the dough shut.
11. Cut the roll in half lengthwise from end to end, exposing all of the layers you rolled.Twist the two halves together with the layer side out then gently lift and set into the loaf pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F.
12. Brush the loaf with egg wash and sprinkle some more cinnamon and sugar if desired.
13. Bake at 400F for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 and bake for another 40 minutes. If the dough is getting too dark on top, lay a piece of foil over it while it finishes baking.
14. Let cool on baking racks for 30 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife.
