Ingredients:
2 cups Hot Water
2-3 Tbsp Butter, melted
1 tsp Himalayan Salt
3 Tbsp Sugar
4-5 cups  Alta Artisan Bread Flour
1 1/2 tsp SAF Yeast

Filling:
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
2 Tbsp Butter, melted

Glaze:
3 Tbsp Butter, melted
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
2 Tbsp Hot Water

Directions:
First, mix your dough.

In your Bosch Universal Mixer, combine the following ingredients in this order: Water, butter, salt, sugar, 2 cups of flour, and yeast. Turn mixer on and, while ingredients are mixing, add remaining flour, one cup at a time, until dough begins to pull away from the sides. Knead in machine for 4-6 minutes.

Remove from mixer, shape dough into a ball, then place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 30-40 minutes, or until double in size.

Once risen, punch down and roll out on a hard surface.

Mix your cinnamon and sugar together in a separate bowl. Brush melted butter on top, then sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture over the top.

Roll dough up, pinch the ends, and place in your greased USA Pan Hearth Pan. Let rise for another 30 minutes.

While loaf is rising, preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place risen loaf in 400 degree oven, knock temperature down to 350 degrees, then bake for 35 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Make glaze by combining butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and water in a bowl and mixing with an electric hand mixer.

Drizzle over top, then serve.

Light, fluffy, and with the most amazing cinnamon swirl center, this bread is sure to wake you up each morning. So tasty and delicious, you can enjoy each slice for breakfast, a sweet dessert, or a tasty snack. Trust us, you'll find plenty of reasons and excuses to enjoy this amazing bread!
