- 50g granulated sugar
- 7g instant yeast
- 6g fine sea salt
- 240ml warm whole milk (110°F)

- 1 pinch flaky salt
Instructions:
- Combine 240ml warm whole milk (110°F) with 56g melted butter and 60g Greek yogurt.
- In your mixer, whisk 480g bread flour, 50g granulated sugar, 7g instant yeast, and 6g fine sea salt.
- Add the liquid mixture to the dry. Knead on medium speed for 8 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and clears the sides of the bowl.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rest for 1 hour 30 mins until doubled in size and puffy.
- Melt 113g unsalted butter in one bowl. In another, mix 150g light brown sugar, 15g ground cinnamon, 5ml vanilla extract, and a pinch of flaky salt.
- Punch down the dough and pinch off small pieces (about 1 inch). Roll them into balls.
- Dip each ball first into the melted butter, then roll thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture until completely coated and sandy.
- Stagger the balls in a well greased 10 inch Bundt pan. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes until they look crowded and airy.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes until the top is deeply browned and the caramel is bubbling.
- Let the pan sit for exactly 5 minutes, then invert onto a plate.
