Instructions
- For the dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add milk, water, and butter, mix until just combined. Let stand for 5 minutes to hydrate the flour.
- Knead the dough: Use a stand mixer with a hook attachment to knead for about 10 minutes until soft and supple. Let rise until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
- Prepare the coating: Whisk brown sugar and cinnamon together. Dip dough balls in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar. Place in muffin cups and proof for 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake muffins for 30-33 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm muffins. Serve and enjoy!
