Preparation
- Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warmed water, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes or until the yeast begins to bloom.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour half of the vegetable oil into the yeast mixture, setting the remaining oil aside. Gently add the flour and kosher salt and stir until just combined.
- Knead and Rise: Transfer the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Prepare to Bake: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon to create your cinnamon sugar topping.
- Shape and Dimple Dough: Pour the remaining vegetable oil into a 9x11 inch baking pan. Once the dough has risen, spread it out evenly to the edges and create dimples in the dough to hold the topping.
- Add Topping and Bake: Pour the cinnamon sugar butter mixture over the dough, and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, softened butter, confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
- Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the frosting over the warm bread. Allow it to soak in before cutting into squares.
