Steps:
- Prepare the Dough:
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit until frothy (10 minutes).
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add eggs, melted butter, and yeast mixture. Knead into a soft dough. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- Shape and Bake:
- Roll out the dough into a thin sheet. Cut into long strips. Wrap each strip around a greased rolling pin or special chimney cake mold. Brush with melted butter.
- Roll the dough in granulated sugar (and cinnamon, if using).
- Bake:
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even caramelization.
- Serve:
- Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings—ground nuts, chocolate sprinkles, or extra cinnamon sugar!
