# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Combine warm milk, a pinch of sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
02 - In a large bowl, blend flour, sugar, and salt. Add melted butter, eggs, and yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
03 - Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour in a warm area.
04 - Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
05 - Roll out the dough to a 12 by 20-inch rectangle. Brush melted butter over the dough, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix.
06 - Slice the dough crosswise into 6 equal strips, stack them, and cut into 6 squares. Layer squares upright in a greased loaf pan.
07 - Cover and let rise for 30 minutes until slightly puffed.
08 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
09 - Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a rack and serve warm.
