Instructions

1. Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C). Whisk it with the yeast and sugar in a stand mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook, then let it sit about 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the 3 Tbsp butter, 2 cups (250g) flour and the salt. Beat on medium for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed. Add the remaining 1 cup (125g) flour and beat on low until a soft dough forms that pulls away from the sides. If it is very sticky, beat in up to 2 more Tbsp flour.
3. Knead the dough in the mixer for 5 full minutes, or by hand on a lightly floured surface. If it gets sticky, add 1 tsp flour at a time. The dough should still feel a little soft and spring back slowly when poked. It is ready when a small golf-ball-sized piece can be stretched thin enough for light to pass through without tearing.
4. Grease a large bowl, add the dough and turn to coat. Cover tightly and let it rise in a fairly warm place for about 2 hours, until nearly doubled.
5. Gently punch down the dough. On a lightly floured silicone mat or parchment-lined sheet, stretch it into a 10×14-inch (25×36cm) rectangle without tearing. Cover and refrigerate for exactly 20 minutes.
6. Beat the 1 cup (226g) butter, slightly softened but still cool at 60–64°F (15–18°C), with 1 Tbsp flour until fully combined.
7. Take the dough out. With the long side facing you, spread the butter over the centre third, fold one side over, then the other like a business letter, and pinch the short ends shut. Rotate so the long edge faces you, flour the top, and roll to a 9×12-inch (23×30cm) rectangle. Fold like a letter, cover and chill 20 minutes.
8. Roll out to 9×12 inches again, fold like a letter, rotate, roll and fold once more. Cover and chill 20 minutes.
9. Roll out to 9×12 inches, fold like a letter, rotate, roll and fold again. Cover and chill 20 minutes.
10. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan. Then, in a medium bowl, mix the 3/4 cup (150g) sugar and 1 Tbsp cinnamon for the topping.
