Combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in the mixer bowl. Add egg, warm water, butter, and vanilla, and mix until dough is smooth.

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, place dough inside, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle. Let rest uncovered for 10 minutes.

4

Prepare the filling by combining sugar, flour, and cinnamon, then stir in melted butter.

Spread filling evenly on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Roll dough into a log and cut lengthwise. Twist pieces, place into a prepared pan, and brush with egg wash.

6

For the topping, mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt, then work in cold butter to form crumbs. Sprinkle topping over loaf and let rise until doubled.

Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan and another 20 minutes outside the pan before serving.
