Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour 480g
  • 2 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil 60ml
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 ¼ cup warm water

For the filling:

  • 1 stick unsalted butter 113g, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 100g
  • 3 teaspoons powdered cinnamon

Instructions

  • With a small piece of softened butter, grease a 10 inch springform pan.
  • In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour with yeast, sugar, salt, oil, vinegar and warm water. Knead on medium speed until the dough is elastic. If the dough seems too dry, add a splash of water.
  • When you're done kneading, coat the dough ball with oil and cover with a clean towel, let it rise and double in size (takes about an hour).
  • Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the dough as thin as you can shaping it into a rectangle.
  • Brush with softened butter and sprinkle generously with sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough into a pinwheel (from the longer side of the rectangle). Using a sharp knife cut it along its length into 2 equal halves. Slowly turn the 2 halves facing outwards so you can see the layers inside. Then place them crossing each other to create X shape. Pick up the 2 ends from the bottom and cross again. Pinch the ends together and repeat.
  • Place in your pan in a wreath shape. Cover with a clean towel and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon on top.
  • As your dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
  • Bake wreath at 400°F/200°C for 10 minutes and then lower to 350°F/180°C, and bake for another 30 or 40 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, and allow it to cool completely and sprinkle with some powdered sugar before serving.
