    Prepare the Dough:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and cinnamon.
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the warmed milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until combined.
    Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
    Knead and Rise:

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
    Shape and Bake:

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface.
    Divide the dough into small pieces (about 1-inch balls) and arrange them in a greased bundt pan or a round cake pan.
    Cover the pan and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
    Bake:

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

    While the bread is baking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
    Brush the baked bread with the melted butter, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
    Cool and Serve:

    Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Enjoy your Cinnamon Sugar Donut Sweet Bread warm or at room temperature!
