- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, (at room temperature)
- 2 large eggs, (beaten)
- 1/2 cup warm milk ((110 to 115 degrees F))
- 1 .25 -ounce envelope active dry yeast ((dissolved in 3 tablespoons warm water))
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, (melted)
- 1/2 cup nuts, chopped maraschino cherries or candied cherries
Steps
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the sugar and butter. Mix in the eggs, milk, dissolved yeast in water, and vanilla.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt; add to the wet mixture and beat until incorporated. Set the bowl aside, cover loosely with a clean dishtowel, and let the dough rise until doubled in size (1 1/2 to 2 hours).
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, melted butter and nuts (you can use the cherries for a festive look if you don't care for nuts).
Punch the dough down and spread into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Sprinkle the topping on top.
Place the pan in a cold oven and cover with a clean dishtowel. Let it sit overnight in the cold oven to rise. You can turn on the oven light to add a little bit of heat to the oven.
The next morning, remove the dishtowel (don't forget this step!!), turn the oven to 350°F. and bake for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
