Ingredients:
Dough
2 Cups plain flour
3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoon plain flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast (1 packet)
1/2 tsp. salt
4 Tbls. butter
1/3 cup whole milk
1/4 cup water
2 eggs (at room temperature)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Filling
1 Cup Sugar
2 Tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
4 tbls. butter, melted until brown

Method:
In a large mixing bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast and salt. set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and milk.
 

Once the butter has completely melted, set aside and let ot cool for 5 minutes.
Pour the milk mixture into the large bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well. 
Whisk together the eggs and add to the batter. 
Keep mixing. 
Add 3/4 cups of flour and mix well. (I needed to add more flour about 1/4 cup here because my dough was still liquid)

The mixture will be very sticky which means it's perfect. 
Place the dough in a medium greased bowl. 

Cover with wrap and let it sit in a warm place to rise for about 30-45 minutes. Once the dough has doubled its size, knead in 2 Tbls of flour. Cover the dough again for another 5-10 minutes.
While the dough is rising you can start on the filling. Mix together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl. Set aside.

Brown the butter in a small saucepan. Should take about 5-8 minutes. Once browned, take off heat and set aside.

Once the dough is ready, 
Roll it out on a floured surface and put flour on your roller.
Roll it to a rectangular shape as seen in pictures.
Brush the butter on the the dough and add the sugar mixture. 
Make sure everything is covered. 
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into six equal strips. 
Stack the strips onto of each other
 and cut six equal squares. 
Place squares side by side in a bread pan, 
Cover the dough for another 10-15 minutes to rise. 
Pre-heat the over to 180 degrees celcius. 
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. 
The outside of the bread will be a dark golden brown. 
This bread is delicious served warm, if you wanted to make it more like a dessert serve warm with icing drizzled over the top with whipped cream.
