Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I start by warming up my milk in the microwave, making sure it’s at a cozy 110°F. In my mixing bowl, I combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. After a few minutes, I watch in anticipation as the yeast starts to froth—this tells me it’s alive and ready to work its magic! Next, I add the vegetable oil, salt, ground cinnamon, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is well blended. Finally, I gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
