Ingredients

The Dough:

1 cup goat milk

½ cup goat butter, melted

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ tsp. fine salt

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 packet active dry yeast

1 large egg

The Frosting:

3 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

3-4 Tbsp. goat milk

¼ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Combine the goat milk and ¼ cup goat butter to a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 60 seconds, or until warm.

Using a standing mixer with a dough hook attachment, prepare to make your dough. Add the warm goat milk and butter to the bowl, pour in the dry active yeast, and stir. Wait about 10 minutes for the yeast to bloom.

In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add 3 cups flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

Add the ingredients from the dry mixture, the egg, and mix for about 5 minutes on a medium speed. Sprinkle in the remaining dough until a solid shape begins to form. Remove from bowl and knead into a ball.

Place aside in a lightly greased bowl and allow the dough to rise. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 350℉

Transfer dough into a greased baking dish. Top with melted butter and cinnamon.

Bake the dough for about 25-30 minutes.

While the dough is baking prepare your frosting. Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and goat milk. Add more or less milk depending on the desired thickness.

Drizzle the icing on top and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.

Cut into slices and enjoy!
