🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
✓ 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
✓ 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
✓ 2 tablespoons sugar
✓ 1/4 cup low-fat milk, warm
✓ 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, room temperature
✓ 1 egg white + 1 teaspoon neutral oil
✓ 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
✓ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
✓ 1 tablespoon neutral oil
✓ 3 tablespoons raw honey
✓ 1/4 cup low-fat milk
✓ 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
✓ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
✓ 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
✓ Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Mix Dry Base: Combine flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk to distribute yeast evenly.

2. Create Wet Base: In a separate bowl, whisk warm milk, Greek yogurt, egg white with oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Let sit 2 minutes.

3. Bring Dough Together: Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms (about 1 minute).

4. Knead & Rest: Transfer dough to a lightly oiled surface. Knead for 5–6 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 45 minutes until doubled.

5. Shape Pull-Apart Bread: Divide risen dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball and arrange in a greased small loaf pan or 6-inch round cake pan, fitting them snugly side by side.

6. Final Proof: Cover shaped dough and let rise 25–30 minutes until puffy and touching at the seams.

7. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake bread for 20–22 minutes until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.

8. Prepare Honey Butter Glaze: While bread bakes, heat butter and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add honey and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and beginning to caramelize. Remove from heat.

9. Cool & Emulsify Glaze: Let glaze cool 3 minutes. Whisk in Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth and glossy.

10. Finish & Serve: Remove bread from oven. Immediately brush or spoon half the glaze over hot bread, letting it soak into crevices. Let cool 5 minutes, then drizzle remaining glaze. Serve warm with napkins ready.
