👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, 1 tsp of granulated sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast. - 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
💡 Conseils de pro: Mixing dry ingredients first ensures even distribution. - 3
Pour the yeast mixture, beaten egg, and softened butter into the well. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
💡 Conseils de pro: Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. - 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
💡 Conseils de pro: A slightly warm oven (turned off) is a good place for rising. - 5
Grease a 23cm (9-inch) round cake pan or tart tin. Punch down the risen dough and press it evenly into the prepared pan.
💡 Conseils de pro: Press the dough thinly and evenly for a delicate cake. - 6
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract (if using), and cinnamon (if using). Spread this mixture evenly over the dough.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the sugar topping is bubbly and caramelized.
