Time 2h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
¼ cup warm water
2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup milk, warmed
1 egg
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with vegetable oil.
  • Combine warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until bubbly and foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 1 cup flour, warm milk, egg, 3 tablespoons sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well before adding remaining 2 1/2 cups flour. Mix and knead until dough comes together in a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and punch down gently to deflate. Divide dough into small or medium balls.
  • Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Dip each dough ball in melted butter, remove with a fork, and roll in sugar mixture until well coated. Arrange in the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Invert onto a large plate; cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot to cook the pasta to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Salt the pasta water generously. This helps to season the pasta and prevents it from sticking together.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions, stirring occasionally.
  • Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining. This water can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the dish if needed.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to cook the sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from sticking and burning.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat. Cook over medium heat until the sauce has heated through and the pasta is well coated.
  • Season the pasta dish with salt, pepper, and additional herbs or spices to taste.
  • Serve the pasta dish immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, or crushed red pepper flakes.
