Step 1

Generously butter a deep 2-quart casserole. Pour the water into a large bowl, and stir in the yeast and the 2 Tbsp sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the milk, salt, 4 Tbsp melted butter, 1 cup of flour, and 1/2 cup sugar; beat until smooth. Gradually beat in remaining flour until dough is stiff and satiny.

Step 3

Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until double in size, about 45 minutes. Turn out the dough onto a lightly oiled surface. Divide dough into quarters. Divide each quarter into quarters again to make 16 pieces. Cut each piece in half to make 32 pieces total.

Step 4

Pour the remaining 2 Tbsp melted butter into a small dish. In another dish, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and the cinnamon. Roll each piece of dough first in the butter and then in the cinnamon sugar. Place dough pieces in the buttered casserole in even layers. Cover with kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 375° F. Bake bread for 35 to 45 minutes, or until browned and a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in the casserole for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
