The simplest recipes for homemade bread<\/a> call for just flour, water, salt and yeast. This recipe for cinnamon bread is made with enriched dough, which contains added milk, sugar and eggs. Enriched doughs are soft, rich and flavorful (think of classic brioche<\/a> or hot-cross buns<\/a>!), but they tend to be a bit denser. Keep a close eye on the instructions, which call for two rises before baking.<\/p>\n The good news is that enriched breads tend to keep well, so you can enjoy your cinnamon bread with breakfast and snacks for a few days!<\/p>\n In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add the milk, 1\/2 cup sugar, eggs, butter, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in just enough remaining flour to form a soft, pliable dough.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0We keep the flour measurement open-ended because many factors will affect the wetness of bread dough, including the temperature and humidity of your kitchen, the size of your eggs and so on.<\/p>\n Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead until it becomes smooth and elastic, six to eight minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0One of our best bread-baking tips<\/a> is to learn the signs that your bread is fully kneaded. The easiest way to tell is to do what bakers call the “windowpane test.” Simply stretch a bit of dough between your fingers, and if the dough tears, keep kneading. If it stretches to form a translucent “window,” the bread is ready to rise, or “proof.”<\/p>\n Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour.<\/p>\n Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and remaining 1\/2 cup sugar. Set aside.<\/p>\n Punch down the dough.\u00a0 Turn it onto a lightly floured surface, and divide in half.<\/p>\n Roll each portion into an 18×8-inch rectangle.<\/p>\n Sprinkle each with about 1\/4 cup cinnamon sugar, leaving a 1\/2-inch border around the edges.<\/p>\n Roll up jelly-roll style, starting at a short side and rolling up. Pinch along the seam to seal.<\/p>\n Place the rolled loaves in the two prepared loaf pans, seam side down.<\/p>\n Cover the pans with kitchen towels. Let the bread rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Near the end of the rise, preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n Bake the loaves until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the loaves from the pans to wire racks, and let cool completely.<\/p>\n Leftover cinnamon bread should be stored at room temperature. Allow it to cool completely, then store in an airtight container, plastic bag or bread box for two to three days. You can also keep cinnamon bread in the refrigerator, where it will last up to five days. Note that the crust will get a bit softer in the fridge than at room temperature.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze bread<\/a>, including cinnamon bread! Freeze the bread in slices, partial loaves or entire loaves. Allow the bread to cool completely, then wrap it up in plastic, or seal in a freezer-safe bag, and pop in the freezer. It will keep for up to four months. Single slices are easy to reheat directly in the toaster. Whole or partial loaves can be thawed in the refrigerator before slicing and enjoying.<\/p>\n Sometimes, baked cinnamon bread gets gaps between the cinnamon-sugar swirl and the bread. This tends to happen as the bread rises during baking; steam simply forces open the natural seams in the bread. Our recipe tries to avoid this by using only sugar and cinnamon in the swirl. Recipes that call for butter or oil can actually make the problem worse because they make the seam slicker and more prone to bursting open. The good news is that the looser bread will still taste delicious.<\/p>\n Greasing your pan<\/a> makes it easier to slide the bread out after it’s finished baking. Grease the pan thoroughly using shortening, oil or butter. Spread evenly over the bottom and all sides of the pan, paying special attention to the corners. Then sprinkle the pan with flour to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n Use a serrated knife to cut the bread into slices, which prevents the crust from tearing. Enjoy the bread warm or at room temperature. It also tastes delicious toasted and spread with your favorite type of <\/a>butter<\/a>. Or slather cinnamon swirl bread with a favorite jelly or jam (apricot or raspberry are especially good), or with a rich portion of Nutella. This makes some dynamite French toast<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our homemade cinnamon bread recipe makes a loaf fit for magazine covers: tall and golden brown with soft, sweet dough and swirls of cinnamon sugar.

The dough base is perfect. When you get ready to roll it I add 4 teaspoons of flour to the cinnamon & sugar mix (I also use 3 tablespoons of cinnamon) the flour will bind with the sugar so you don\u2019t have gaps around your swirls. Instead of spreading butter to the base use one beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water. This will prevent you cinnamon and sugar mixture becoming slimy. I just brush it on and then sprinkle my cinnamon mixture on top and roll up tight. Then before letting it rise I brush a little of the egg and water mixture on the top gbefore covering for the second rise. This will give your bread a little shine.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-12-18","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenBlowdryer"},"reviewBody":"For an stubborn old newbie, this recipe is fantastic!
