Swirl Cinnamon Bread

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for filling)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In another bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  3. Once the yeast is foamy, add the melted butter and egg to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
  8. Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  9. Spread the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough.
  10. Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other to form a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
  11. Place the rolled dough into a greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
  12. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last 15 minutes of rising.
  13. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
  14. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
