Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 cups olive oil
  • 4 cups flour
  • 0.33 cups butter melted
  • 0.25 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons milk

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add water, yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil. Let it stand for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of flour, and mix until combined. Add another cup of flour, and mix for 1-2 minutes until batter-like. The dough will develop gluten with this process.
  2. Add the remaining flour, knead by hand until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 10 minutes. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 15 to 60 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Divide dough in half. Roll out one half on parchment to about 1/2 inch thick. Deeply dimple the surface, pour melted butter, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into 4-inch sticks.
  4. To prepare the dipping sauce, mix melted 3 tablespoons butter with powdered sugar and 1.5 tablespoons milk until smooth.

Notes

Serve warm and enjoy the aromatic cinnamon flavor!
