Categories     Egg

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package (.25 ounce) active dry yeast
1 egg
1 1/4 cups warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup (and more for brushing) butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place flour, white sugar, salt, and yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer. In a bowl, whisk together egg, melted butter, warm milk, and vanilla extract; pour into the flour mixture. Using dough hook attachment, mix on low until the flour is moistened and a dough forms, then increase speed to medium, and continue kneading until smooth and elastic, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Place dough into a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Punch down dough, turn out onto a floured work surface, and divide into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/3 inch thick rectangle. Brush each square with melted butter. Mix together cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the two rectangles.
  • Roll each firmly into a log, pinch the ends closed, and tuck them underneath. Place each into a greased, glass loaf pan. Cover, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter, then bake in preheated oven until loaves are golden brown, and sound hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes.

This is the best kalacs recipe I've ever tried! The bread is so soft and fluffy, and the cinnamon filling is perfectly sweet and gooey. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I'm sure it would be perfect for people who like their cinnamon buns on the sweeter side.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can never seem to get the dough to rise properly. Any suggestions?

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, so I substituted nutmeg and cloves instead. The kalacs still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and my kalacs turned out dense and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.
