04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 cup warm milk
06 - 1/4 cup warm water

→ Glaze

12 - 1 cup powdered sugar
13 - 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
14 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - Add warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and egg to the dry mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
03 - Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rise in a warm area for 40 minutes or until doubled in size.
04 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
05 - Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 16 by 10-inch rectangle.
06 - Spread softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon uniformly on top.
07 - Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal securely.
08 - Using a sharp knife, slice the log lengthwise in half. With the cut sides facing up, twist the two halves together evenly.
09 - Shape the twisted dough into a circular wreath. Pinch the ends to seal, then transfer onto the prepared baking sheet.
10 - Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
11 - Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm wreath before serving.
