Has anybody had experience using a cinnamon roll/coffee cake yeast dough for challah? I haven't had much luck in my search for a challah recipe, but yesterday I discovered an amazing cinnamon roll recipe (can we officially declare it a Tisha B'av tradition finally?) that was pretty straightforward and turned out delicious.
Can I use this for challah?
Here it is, for reference:

I should have known that anything Paula Deen would have been amazing and rich and buttery.

Try it as rolls, if irs not too sweet, it can be hamotzi.
(Mezonos is sweet, crunchy or filled.)

Great idea. I can't tell the taste right now since it's covered in cinnamon and sugar. I was thinking to replace 1/2 cup of milk with water, bringing the total to 1 cup water. Is that enough to make it hamotzi?

Yes it will work. My challah recipe is similar ( water only no milk and oil instead of butter) but I might use a little more salt and a full 4 cups of flour.
