To prepare the dough, combine milk, oil and 1/4 cup sugar in a large saucepan. Heat it until warm to the touch and sugar dissolves. Then remove the pan from the heat.

Sprinkle in the yeast and add 2 cups of flour. Stir to combine, then cover with a tea towel and allow to rise for an hour.

3
Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup flour, along with baking powder, baking soda and salt. If dough is too sticky to handle, stir in another tablespoon of flour.

4
Roll out dough onto a floured surface making it into a big rectangle. Brush melted butter all over the dough.

5
Mix together the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar all over the dough.

Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 6 strips, then stack all the strips into one long stack. Cut the stack of strips into 6 pieces each. Place the stacks sideways into a greased standard size loaf pan. Be sure not to cram them into the loaf pan, and leave space for the bread to expand.
