# What You Need:

→ Dough

01 - 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 cup warm milk
06 - 1/4 cup warm water
07 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
08 - 1 large egg

→ Filling

09 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
10 - 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
11 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

→ Glaze

12 - 1 cup powdered sugar
13 - 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
14 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - Add warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
03 - Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover lightly, and let rise in a warm environment for 40 minutes or until doubled in volume.
04 - Set oven temperature to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
05 - Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a rectangle approximately 16 by 10 inches.
06 - Evenly spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
07 - Begin rolling the dough tightly from the long edge, creating a log. Pinch the seam firmly to seal.
08 - Use a sharp knife to cut the dough log lengthwise into two halves. With the cut sides facing up, twist the two halves together to expose the filling layers.
09 - Form the twisted dough into a circular wreath shape and pinch the ends together to seal. Transfer onto the prepared baking sheet.
10 - Bake the wreath for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before glazing.
11 - Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle evenly over the warm wreath before serving.
