Instructions

1

Dissolve yeast in warm milk with 1 tsp sugar. Wait 10 minutes.
2

Mix flour + sugar + salt. Work in eggs + vanilla + yeast mixture.
3

Knead in cannabis-infused butter and regular butter in small pieces — 10 minutes until smooth dough.
4

Let rise 1.5–2 hours until double in volume.
5

Filling: Melt chocolate + cannabis-infused butter. Stir in cocoa + powdered sugar + cinnamon. Cool.
6

Roll dough thin (16x20 inches/40x50cm). Spread filling evenly.
7

Roll up tightly. Cut rolled dough lengthwise — cut sides facing up.
8

Twist both halves together. Place in greased loaf pan.
9

Let rise 45 minutes. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes.
10

Brush immediately with sugar syrup — gives shine and keeps moist.

Pro Tips

Cannabis-infused butter twice: in the dough and in the filling — ensures even distribution across all slices.
The twisting is crucial for the marbling — more twists = prettier pattern.
Sugar syrup immediately after baking — only then does it properly soak in.
