Instructions
- Heat milk in a microwave or on the stovetop in a saucepan to 110 F (at a lukewarm temperature). Add yeast and honey, whisk until well blended. Let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes or until foamy.

- Tests to check the dough when kneaded enough. Windowpane test by stretching without tearing, which means the gluten has been developed. Poke test by pressing the dough, if it springs back when lightly pressed. The indentation doesn't remain, then you know it's been kneaded enough, and it's ready to rise.
- Form into a ball. Drizzle with oil and cover with kitchen towel. Place in a dry warm place and let it rise for about an hour to 2 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Apply canola oil on your hands and the clean flat surface, or use a large chopping board. Deflate and divide the dough into two. Roll out the dough into a 9" x 9" square.

- Spread the softened butter evenly on the unsliced side of the dough. Combine cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle on the buttered side of the dough.
