Servings: persons

Dough:
1 1/4 cups whole milk, lukewarm
2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 egg
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ginger syrup, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
Filling:
3/4 cup Belgian pearl sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1
Combine milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until yeast is frothy, about 10 minutes.
2
Whisk egg in a small bowl. Place 1 tablespoon in a separate bowl; reserve for glazing.
3
Sift flour into a large bowl; mix in salt. Add yeast mixture, beaten egg, 2 tablespoons ginger syrup, and 1 1/2 tablespoon melted butter. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
4
Grease a large bowl with 1 teaspoon oil. Place dough in the greased bowl. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
5
Grease a 2-pound disposable loaf pan with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and ginger syrup over the bottom and sides of the pan.
6
Mix pearl sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
7
Roll dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle 1/2 of the pearl sugar mixture on top; knead until evenly incorporated. Roll out again and add remaining pearl sugar mixture; knead until evenly incorporated.
8
Shape dough into a loaf; place seam-side down in the prepared pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.
9
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush top of loaf with reserved beaten egg.
10
Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly in the pan before slicing, about 10 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
