Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Print Recipe

The original recipe for this bread is from Taste of Home. I changed the directions only in using more cinnamon in the mix. It is a simple, flavorful bread recipe with a delightful cinnamon swirl. It’s one of those recipes that will be baked again and again.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Packages of Active Dry Yeast 
  • 1/3 Cup Warm Water (110*)
  • 1 Cup Warm Milk (110*)
  • 1 Cup of Sugar, divided
  • 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
  • 5 1/2–6 Cups of Flour
  • 4 Tablespoons Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water (I usually mix in a few tablespoons of sugar to bloom the yeast).
  2. Add milk, 1/2 Cup Sugar, Eggs, Butter, Salt, and 3 Cups of Flour. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  3. Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic. (6-8 minutes). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to oil the surface of the dough. Cover, set to rise in a warm place until it is doubled in size (one hour).
  4. Mix Cinnamon and remaining sugar. Punch down dough and divided into two parts. Roll each portion into a rectangle measuring approximately 8 x 18 inches.
  5. Sprinkle Sugar/Cinnamon mixture within 1/2 inch of the edge. 
  6. Roll up each dough jelly roll/cinnamon roll style, starting at the short edge and pinch to seal.
  7. Place each roll of dough into a greased loaf pan, seam side down.
  8. Cover breads with damp kitchen towels and set to rise in a warm spot. (1 1/2 hours) until doubled in size.
  9. Preheat oven to 350*
  10. Bake breads until golden brown 30-35 minutes.
  11. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
