Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
½ tsp vanilla extract

For the cinnamon sugar

⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

For assembly

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the glaze

½ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk

Instructions

1
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5–10 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.
2
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour and salt, then mix with a dough hook on medium speed (or stir with a wooden spoon and knead by hand) for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
