Ingredients

500 gram flour
200 ml milk full fat
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons yeast 14 grams
2 eggs
For topping:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp sugar
¼ c sprinkles

Instructions

Add yeast, milk, and sugar to a bowl and stir.
Let proof until a thick foam sets, about 5-8 minutes.
In a large bowl, add flour and salt in a bowl, mix.
Make a well in the middle.
Add oil, eggs, and yeast mix to bowl.
Mix in stand mixer with paddle on medium until a smooth ball forms, about 5 minutes. Dough should not be sticky or dry, similar to a pizza dough.
If dough is too sticky, add flour, one tablespoon at a time. If too dry, add one teaspoon of water at a time.
Return to bowl and let rise until doubled in size, about one hour.
Punch down dough and lightly knead.
Separate into 6 portions.
Roll each of the 6 balls of dough out to a thin circle.
Take a pizza roller to cut winding corkscrew shape out of the dough.
Wrap dough around a paper towel rod, covered in foil, and well greased.
Place rod and dough on a deep baking dish - dough should have room to puff up about 1/4" in all directions.
Bake 8-15 minutes, until lightly browned.
In a small pan, melt butter and honey, adding in sugar, stirring often to help mix and prevent burning.
Brush honey butter mixture on dough.
Cover dough in sprinkles.
Let set about 3 minutes.
Serve immediately!
