Cinnamon Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Warm the milk in a small sauce pan on the stove until it just starts to bubble, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat.
• Let cool until lukewarm, about 120-125 degrees.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside until yeast is frothy, about 10 minutes or so (make sure your water is at the correct temperature or the yeast won't activate.) Then mix in eggs, sugar, butter salt and raisins (stir in the cooled milk slowly so you don't cook the eggs.) Add the flour gradually to make a stiff dough.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.
• Place in a large, buttered, mixing bowl and turn to grease the surface of the dough.
• Cover with a warm, damp cloth and let rise (I like to let my bread rise in the oven with the light on. It has just the right amount of heat and keeps the bread out of drafts.) Allow to rise until doubled, usually about 1 1/2 hours.
• Roll out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle 1/2 inch thick.
• Moisten the dough with 2 tablespoons milk and rub all over the dough with your hands.
• Mix together 1 cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons cinnamon and sprinkle mixture evenly on top of the moistened dough.
• Roll up tightly (the long way).
• The roll should be about 3 inches in diameter.
• Cut into thirds, and tuck under ends and pinch bottom together.
• Place loaves into well greased (you can use Crisco or butter for this) 9 x 5 inch pans and lightly grease tops of loaves.
• Let rise in warm place, uncovered, again for about an hour.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until loaves are lightly browned and sound hollow when tapped.
• Remove from oven and let cool on rack.
• Take melted butter and spread over tops of loaves.
• After about 20 minutes, lay loaves on their sides and remove from pans.
• Allow to cool before slicing.

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine the warm water, yeast and a pinch of granulated sugar in a small bowl and let sit until foamy, 5 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the bread flour, remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and salt in a stand mixer.
• Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the flour mixture. Knead with the dough hook on medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl coated with cooking spray. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Punch down the dough and transfer to a work surface; knead a few times. Cut in half and gently shape into two 3-by-6-inch loaves (do not overwork the dough). Place the loaves 3 inches apart on the prepared pan. Lightly spray the loaves with cooking spray and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until puffy, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Make the topping: Whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small baking dish. Whisk the melted butter and corn syrup in another small baking dish.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Cut 4 deep slashes across the top of each loaf (the loaves will look deflated). Dip each loaf in the butter-corn syrup mixture, turning to coat, then coat with the cinnamon sugar, making sure to get the sugar in the crevices. Place the loaves in the prepared pans. Drizzle with any remaining butter mixture and sprinkle with any remaining cinnamon sugar. Bake until light brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Lift the bread out of the loaf pans using the parchment overhang and transfer to a rack. Let cool in the paper, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, salt, melted butter and 3 tablespoons milk in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in up to 2 more tablespoons milk as needed to loosen. Drizzle on the warm loaves or serve on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• For the dough: Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Add the sugar, yeast, 1 cup of the flour and 1 cup warm water to a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Press down to remove excess air from the bag. Close the bag tightly and squish the ingredients in the bag until well mixed. Let the bag sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
• Add the butter, oil, salt and another cup of flour, close the bag and mix well. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and mix again until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the dough begins to pull away from the bag.
• For the topping: Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Pour the dough out of the bag onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough until it comes together and is not sticking to the board. Using your fingers, flatten out the dough into a circle about an inch in thickness. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top of the dough. Gently roll the dough (like a burrito) to make the shape of a loaf. Tuck the sides of the dough under to keep the cinnamon mixture inside. Place the dough seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan and cover with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rest and rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Once the dough has risen, remove the towel and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan.

Steps:

• Filling: Mix and set aside.
• Mix flour, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon and salt together, add all wet ingredients and mix well.
• Pour 1/3 of batter into a greased loaf pan and sprinkle 1/3 of sugar/cinnamon topping over this.
• Repeat twice more with layers of batter and sugar/cinnamon.
• Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes.
• Cool for 5 minutes in pan then turn out to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• Measure flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, salt, buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla into large mixing bowl. Beat 3 minutes. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Smooth top.
• Combine 2 tablespoons white sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and butter, mixing until crumbly. Sprinkle topping over smoothed batter. Using knife, cut in a light swirling motion to give a marbled effect.
• Bake for about 50 minutes. Test with toothpick. When inserted it should come out clean. Remove bread from pan to rack to cool.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, butter and egg. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; beat until smooth. Cover and let rest for 1 hour. , Stir baking powder and cinnamon chips into batter. Spoon into a greased 8-in x 4-in. loaf pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 5x9 inch loaf pans.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, pudding mix, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla. Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until smooth. Sprinkle the bottoms of the loaf pans with cinnamon sugar, and divide the batter between the 2 pans.
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C. Place 250g of strong bread flour into a large bowl. Carefully add the salt, dried yeast, sunflower oil and warm water. Mix well with a fork.
• When the mixture gets sticky, take it out and place it on a clean surface. Sprinkle a tsp of flour on the surface so the mixture won't stick to it. Start rolling it out whilst still mixing it. When the mixture is no longer sticky, leave it for 15 minutes on a warm, damp surface to prove.
• After 15 minutes, take the dough and place it again on a surface with sprinked flour. Start rolling around the mixture again untill it's no longer sticky.
• To plait the bread, simply roll it into three equal shaped balls. Then roll these out untill long and thin. Equally brush the olive oil over the bread dough Bind three ends together and start plaiting them. Bind the three ends together again at the end. Leave on a warm, damp surface to prove for 15 miutes.
• Place the bread in the pre-heated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. You will know the bread is cooked by seeing it's a golden colour and by poking your finger in the bottom of the bread. remove the bread from oven unless it needs more time to cook.
• Leave for 5 minutes on a dry surface to cool down, then enjoy. The bread should serve 5 or more people.
