Success tips:

Use glass measuring cup for all liquids including water, milk & honey.

Place the cup on the high counter top or top of cabinet. Liquid should just reach marking on cup at eye level, not above or below.

Do not use the measuring cup to scoop the flour. Spoon the flour into the standard measuring cup. Then level off with back of knife.

Make sure the cinnamon is right amount, too much will cause the yeast slow down rather than grow.
